Ultimate cure for motion sickness
Motion sickness is actually not a serious illness and may be prevented. It is commonly defined as the feeling of cold sweat, nausea, dizziness accompanied with vomiting when a persons' sense of balance is disrupted by constant motion. Riding in a car, aboard a ship or boat may cause stimulation of the vestibular system and visual stimulation that often leads to motion sickness. It usually quiets down as soon as the motion stops. The more you travel, the more easily you'll adjust to being in motion.
While all five of the body's sensory organs contribute to motion sickness, excess stimulation to the vestibular system within the inner ear has been shown to be one of the primary reasons for this condition.Balance problems, or vertigo, are caused by a conflict between what is seen and how the inner ear perceives it, leading to confusion in the brain. This confusion may result in higher heart rates, rapid breathing, nausea and sweating, along with dizziness and vomiting.
