Henbane contains Scopolamine which is, in my opinion, the best drug available for long term motion sickness prevention.
Makes sense the Norse had it on a ship.
You can get patches of it today, one on the neck lasts 3 days, transforms a person who gets seasick easily to one with the stomach of a seasoned sailor. Never used the stuff myself but have had to get it prescribed for buddies who couldn’t keep their dinner (or water) down after dark.

Scopalamine is amazing. Being on the ocean is otherwise a debilitating ordeal for me. Worked really well on cruises I've been on.

The doses are perfect too apparently. Put on 2 patches and you'll hallucinate pirate ships on the horizon, one patch and you're immune to seasickness with just a bit of dry mouth.
