Motion sickness occurs when there is a mismatch between the signals your eyes, inner ear, and body send to the brain about movement. This disconnect often leads to a range of unpleasant symptoms. It commonly affects people traveling by car, boat, plane, or even on amusement park rides. Additionally, it can be triggered by virtual reality experiences or any situation that involves repetitive motion.
The most common symptoms, ranging from mild queasiness to intense vomiting.
A spinning sensation or loss of balance.
A clammy, cold sweat often accompanies the sickness.
The skin may turn pale as blood flow decreases.
A dull or pounding headache can also occur.
A sense of weakness and tiredness.
Overproduction of saliva is a common precursor to nausea.
The most widely accepted explanation for motion sickness is the Sensory Conflict Theory, which suggests that it arises when the brain receives conflicting information from different sensory systems. For instance, while reading a book in a moving car, your eyes perceive a stationary environment, but your inner ear detects motion. This mismatch in signals can trigger the symptoms of motion sickness.
The vestibular system in the inner ear is responsible for balance and spatial awareness. When there’s a discrepancy between the motion sensed by the vestibular system and what your eyes see, it can lead to motion sickness, as the brain struggles to reconcile the conflicting information.
Mental and emotional states can also contribute to motion sickness. Anxiety or anticipation of motion sickness can heighten symptoms, making early prevention and relaxation techniques important for managing the condition.
Children between 2 and 12 years old are particularly susceptible.
Women, especially those who are pregnant or menstruating, are more prone to motion sickness.
Individuals with migraines are more likely to experience motion sickness.
A family history of motion sickness can increase susceptibility.

"Motion sickness used to ruin my day, whether it was a short bus ride or a long car trip. But after trying ZILTI, everything has changed. They're easy to take and they work fast, so I can focus on having fun instead of feeling nauseous. I honestly don't know how I got by without them before!
