Is cooling oil useful for motion sickness?

In our lives, many people have a certain resistance to riding in a car. What is the reason that makes them feel resistant to riding in a car? That's right, it's motion sickness. Do you know what causes motion sickness? It is due to a lack of something in the body and psychological reasons caused by frequent motion sickness. But in many cases when you have to take a car, many people have come up with some solutions. One of the ways is to use cooling oil. So is cooling oil useful for motion sickness?

Cool oil, formerly known as "Tiger Balm", is a traditional Chinese medicine containing camphor, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil and cinnamon. It is mainly used to treat dizziness and headache caused by summer heat, and can also be used for colds and mosquito bites.

Hu Wenhu, the inventor of cooling oil, was born in Yongding, Fujian Province in 1882 in Yangon, Myanmar. In 1908, he inherited his father's business and took charge of "Yong'an Hall". It soon dominated the international pharmaceutical market.

In Southeast Asia and southern China, the sun is scorching, the hot season is long, and symptoms such as dizziness and heat stroke are very common; there is abundant rain and many mosquitoes that bite people. Hu Wenhu's father once used a traditional Chinese medicine called "Yushu Shensan" to relieve patients from heat. Based on the widely collected traditional Chinese and Burmese medical prescriptions, Hu Wenhu, after repeated research and development, finally launched the "Tiger Balm", a Chinese patent medicine that has multiple functions such as relieving heat, refreshing the mind, reducing inflammation, and relieving itching. It can be applied externally or taken internally. He chose a tiger head as his trademark, which became the "Tiger Balm".

In the sultry and hot summer, we often experience general weakness and dizziness. These symptoms seriously affect our normal life and work. At this time, applying an appropriate amount of cooling oil or wind oil can play a good role in refreshing the mind. For example, applying cooling oil on the temples, Fengchi acupoint, bridge of the nose, philtrum, front hairline, etc. can help us get rid of fatigue quickly.

Cooling oil can help us wake up when we feel motion sickness. Therefore, when you feel sleepy or drowsy, you can apply some cooling oil on the above parts, which will instantly give you the energy to continue fighting. At the same time, proper use of cooling oil can also refresh the mind, cure headaches, and open up the mind. It can be said to be a treasure in summer.

The above is a detailed introduction on whether cooling oil is effective for motion sickness. I hope it can help friends who suffer from motion sickness when riding in a car. In addition to the methods mentioned above, I have another folk method here, which is to steam tofu with rock sugar and eat it before getting on the bus. The effect is also very good. We use this when we need to take a ride. However, we still need to solve the problem of motion sickness fundamentally. Only in this way can we no longer worry about any problems while riding in a car.
