Introduce

For many people, the feeling of nausea and motion sickness when traveling becomes a major obstacle to every trip. Maybe you’ve experienced this feeling while sitting in a car or on a long train ride. Motion sickness can cause a lot of discomfort and affect your experience. But don’t worry! In this article, we will introduce you to effective and natural ways to reduce motion sickness, so you can overcome the feeling of nausea and enjoy your journey.

Why do we feel nauseous when moving?

Before learning about how to reduce motion sickness, let’s find out why we feel nauseous when traveling. Understanding the cause of this problem will help us take appropriate preventive measures.

1. Disorders of the body’s balance system

Our brain receives information from our senses such as our eyes, ears, and body to maintain balance. However, when moving quickly, the information coming from the above senses is not synchronized, disrupting the balance system and leading to a feeling of nausea.

2. Change positions quickly

Moving over curves or going up and down quickly can cause nausea. Continuously changing acceleration and deceleration leads to uneven movements and prevents the body from adapting, causing an uncomfortable feeling.

3. Means of transportation

People tend to feel more nauseous when traveling on a train, boat or car than when moving on their own feet. This is related to the fact that you have no control over the movement of the vehicle and your body cannot synchronize with it.

4. Anxiety and stress

Anxiety, stress, and low mood can contribute to an increased likelihood of feeling nauseous while traveling. This points out the importance of good psychology and positive mental state in overcoming this feeling.

Effective measures to overcome motion sickness

Now, learn about these effective and natural ways to relieve motion sickness so you can enjoy your journey without worrying about feeling nauseous.

1. Exercise: Before getting in the car, do light exercise, like a brisk walk, to stabilize your condition and reduce stress. This helps prepare the body for the trip and reduces the likelihood of feeling motion sick.

2. Limit eating before the journey: Avoid eating indigestible foods or foods with strong food odors before getting on the bus. Heavy foods can make the stomach uncomfortable and increase nausea.

3. Breathe fresh air: During the journey, always try to breathe clean and fresh air. You can open the windows or use an air purifier to increase air circulation in the car.

4. Focus on a fixed point: When leaving your vehicle, focus on a fixed point, such as a distant field, or a non-moving object to keep your balance. By focusing on a fixed point, the feeling of motion sickness is reduced and you feel more stable.

5. Open the window or use the air conditioner: Operating the vehicle in an environment with airy and cool air will help reduce the feeling of motion sickness. If possible, open windows or use air conditioning to create a comfortable space.

6. Limit the use of mobile devices: Using a mobile phone or tablet can increase the likelihood of feeling motion sick. Limit the use of mobile devices during the journey to avoid affecting the nervous system and mind.

7. Drink water and snack: Keep your body hydrated and nutritious. Drinking water and snacks throughout the journey will help the body maintain balance and reduce the feeling of motion sickness.

8. Use natural remedies: There are many natural remedies proven to be effective in reducing the feeling of motion sickness, such as gently rubbing the soles of your feet, smelling natural essential oils, or using soft lighting. Try and find the method that works for you.

Axe Brand Universal Oil containing Menthol, Eucalyptus essential oil and Camphor essential oil will be an effective and safe method to help reduce discomfort and nausea caused by motion sickness.
