Madonna’s herbalist has put her on a strict regime of natural remedies in order to help her perform well during the UK leg of her tour.
The 46-year-old star worried her guru when she turned down a photo shoot aboard a London bus because it would make her feel sick.
A source said: “Madonna is a perfectionist and she gives her everything when she performs.
“She has got the body of someone in their 20s but can’t forget that she’s four years off 50 in reality so she has to look after her joints.
“Her fabulous routines really push her and she needs to keep healthy. Motion sickness indicates a person feels rundown and worn out but there are many remedies to combat this.”
The 56-date Re-Invention tour has so far taken the pop icon across the US and Canada, and she is now performing in the UK.

Pop legend Madonna’s father Silvio Ciccone is proud that his daughter has changed her ways and settled down with a family.
But Ciccone still finds it hard to believe the middle-aged mother-of-two is the same girl that he raised in Michigan.
Ciccone says, “It’s true, she’s a good wife. When I see her with Guy Ritchie, I can’t get it in my head that she’s the same girl I raised. She was hell on wheels when she was younger.

Britney has kept the Zohar text with her at all times since Madonna sent it to her, according to The Sun.
Both singers are devotees of the Jewish-based religion.
Britney said the Zohar book, which offers philosophy for life as well as astrology and numerology, paints “a bigger picture than even the Bible.”
“It’s just so interesting to me because I’ve never read that stuff before,” she said.
A friend told The Sun: “Madonna has always looked out for Britney.
“When Britney was going through a tough time earlier in the year, Madonna used Kabbalah teachings to help her through.
“Britney was delighted with the book. She has read it thoroughly and seems completely taken with it.”
