Frequently Asked Questions


I love to sail. Motion sickness however, I don't love so much! Racing, deliveries and overnights along the west coast used to mean a bout of uncomfortable motion sickness, usually but not always mild but always distracting. And the only thing worse than the discomfort in my stomach was the feeling the over the counter and perscription drugs left me with (they make my head fuzzy and my mouth dry). So ginger was a very welcome alternative for me. It works for me so I suggested it to all of my friends and recommended it to my crew.

Who is Sailor's Secret?
Sailor's Secret was originally packaged and marketed by sailor's for sailor's. But really Sailor's Secret is packaged for traveling. Its much more conveniently and practically packaged than most ginger root products. The packets are waterproof and still easy to open (even when you are not feeling great). They're not in a bottle where the contents can be ruined with one wave - or lost all over the floor of the car. Keep a package in your gear bag or glove box and you'll always be ready.
