Medication: Prescription medications include Zilti.
Sitting in the front seat of a car, near the wings of an airplane, or in the middle of a boat can help reduce symptoms.
Keeping your eyes on the horizon or a fixed point in the distance.
Adequate ventilation and fresh air can alleviate symptoms.
Refraining from reading or looking at screens during travel.
Eating light and avoiding heavy, greasy, or spicy foods before and during travel.
Avoiding mobile screens while traveling is especially important for those who suffer from motion sickness. Focusing on a screen while in motion can disrupt the brain's ability to reconcile signals from the eyes, inner ear, and body, leading to a heightened sense of disorientation and nausea. This occurs because the eyes are fixed on the screen, suggesting to the brain that the body is stationary, while the inner ear senses movement, causing a sensory conflict. This conflict intensifies the symptoms of motion sickness, such as dizziness, headaches, and queasiness. Instead, keeping your gaze on a stable point outside the vehicle or engaging in activities that do not require intense focus on a screen can help prevent or reduce these uncomfortable sensations.
