I realized so many people don’t know about motion sickness, so I decided to make some research on it.
Motion sickness happens because of a conflict between what your inner ear (which helps with balance), eyes, and body perceive.
For instance;
- If you’re reading a book or pressing your phone in a moving car, your eyes see a still page, but your inner ear senses movement.
- If you’re on a ship, your body might feel stable, but your inner ear detects the motion of the waves.
This mismatch confuses the brain, triggering symptoms like nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, and headaches.

- Anti-emetics like dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) or meclizine can help, take them 30–60 minutes before travel.
- Get Enough Rest - Fatigue can make motion sickness worse.
During your journey:
- Focus on a stable object in the distance rather than reading a book or looking at screens.
- Chew minty gum
- Reduce use of AC on very long journeys or once you start feeling it, wind down to get fresh air at intervals.
- Keep your head steady and aligned with your body; reclining slightly can help.
- Try Ginger or Peppermint - These natural remedies may help reduce nausea.
