woofgang must have meant accupunture (not accupressure) which my mum has done for me in the past. However, it worked for my sister and not for me, so it may not neccessarily help you. Go to see a specialist to get accupunture. See if it helps.
Other remedies that don't seem to have any reason as to why they work are:
-chewing gum
-eating alot before leaving
Also try occupying yourself with something during the journey. Having a good conversation with someone helps alot.
Yes, the sickness bands actually do work, and also make sure your wife is sitting in the front seat of the car, or at the front of the bus, or facing fowards on the train with a window seat. In the car or bus she needs to focus forwards on where she is going, and fix on a point in the distance. On a train, this is a little harder, but looking out of the window always helps me. That, or sleeping!
As Georgit79 says, it helps to keep looking at something in the distance, preferably ahead.
This allows your body to understand the joggling better, and is why few people get sick when driving themselves. Let her drive more...?
Motion sickness happens when the signal from your inner ear doesn't match what you see. Looking steadily at something inside (like a book or map) is always worse, as your vision is too steady for the movement.
I find any more than quite a small amount of alcohol makes motion sickness worse -- unless I've had so much that everything is moving anyway, when I'd feel sick regardless.
Motion-sickness tablets can be good, though I think they can stop you driving safely.
Some people are just lucky about this. I'm not too bad myself (except when at sea in a small boat, below decks). One of my daughters seems bombproof -- she'll happily read for hours in that same boat, in a chop. She was never sick as a baby, either.
