Greetings, I remember more than one Asian friend who felt that those slightly salty, slightly sour tiny preserved plums (tan/brown and very wrinkled with seeds) were a great remedy for travel sickness (nausea). I've snacked on them myself a few times. Nobody has ever told me they were anything more than a snack so this is not some kind of alternative medicine. They're sold almost everywhere in Asian shops. No ginger in these as far as I can tell. I have no idea how well these work, by the way, just the "advice" of a couple of aquaintances some years ago. Keep well in the new year all.
