Cotton wool can prevent sea sickness

I was recently in Thailand and travelled from Phuket to Ko Phi Phi Don via a two hour ferry ride. Now I am somebody who can usually ride any form of transport and never have an issue with travel sickness, as not everybody feels this way, I count myself lucky. However on this particular journey, and again when travelling this route back to Phuket, I felt nauseous. I didn't really think anything of it, after all, a couple of journeys feeling sick out of hundreds still isn't that unlucky, however the subject came up when chatting to my Aunt about my trip. She told me that when her and a friend were travelling on a boat once, the captain of the boat cured her friend of sea sickness with a very simple method that didn't involve any medication. After first hearing the story, I thought this method was interesting, and even though the story would have been more useful a few weeks earlier, this method could help me in the future. 

So the story went that her friend was very unwell during the journey and throwing up over the side. The captain took her to the back of the boat gave her a cotton wool ball and asked her with which hand she wrote. He then told he to put the cotton wool ball into the opposite ear. He also said that anything can be used to block the ear, but only block one, and make sure it is the ear opposite to the hand with which you write. Thirty minutes later her friend was eating a full seafood buffet on board the boat, even though the sea conditions hadn't changed. I Googled this remedy when I returned home and the Internet is full of success stories for this particular method of curing sea sickness. Even people who get sick at the mention on the word boat apparently have had no issues in metre high swells using this method. So to me this seems like the cheapest and most effective way to combat sea sickness and I can't wait to try it myself, if I ever feel sea sick again!
