How to quickly cure motion sickness?

In today's world of ever-increasing technology, if you want to go somewhere far away, you don't have to walk like the ancients or ride a horse. Cars can take you anywhere. But for some people who are prone to motion sickness, riding in a car is the most painful thing. Many people want to travel, but are afraid of taking a car. So, is there any way to avoid motion sickness? Now let’s take a look at how to treat motion sickness.

How to treat motion sickness

How to cure motion sickness? Generally speaking, there are two causes of motion sickness: one is congenital, and the other is acquired (for example, many people suffer from motion sickness when they are injured or sick). Regardless of whether motion sickness is congenital or acquired, there are two main factors that cause motion sickness: one is the smell, and the other is the vibration caused by the movement of the car.

1. Fresh ginger

While driving, hold fresh ginger slices in your hand and place them under your nostrils to smell them at any time to inhale the spicy smell into your nose. You can also stick ginger slices on your navel and secure it with a pain-relieving plaster.

2. Pinch the Neiguan acupoint

When motion sickness occurs, you can pinch the Neiguan point with your thumb (Neiguan point is on the palm side of the wrist joint, about two finger widths above the wrist crease, between the two tendons)

3. Vinegar

Drink a glass of warm water with vinegar before riding a car, and you will not get motion sickness on the way.

4. Metoclopramide

Take 1 tablet of Metoclopramide, or 2 tablets if motion sickness is severe. Reduce the dosage for children. Swallow the tablet 10 to 15 minutes before getting on the bus to prevent motion sickness.

If you experience motion sickness symptoms after a journey of more than 2 hours, you can take another tablet. Those who take medicine temporarily during travel should stand for 15 to 20 minutes before sitting down to allow for absorption of the medicine. This method has an efficiency of 97% and does not have the side effects of dry mouth, dizziness, etc. caused by other motion sickness tablets.

5. Essential Oil

While riding in a car, apply wind oil essence on the temples or Fengchi acupoint. You can also drop two drops of Fengyoujing on the belly button and cover it with an analgesic ointment.

Now everyone knows how to treat motion sickness. People who are prone to motion sickness should carry a piece of fresh ginger with them and put it in their mouths before getting on the car. This way, the motion sickness can be alleviated. People who suffer from motion sickness can apply a piece of analgesic plaster on their belly button one hour before riding, which can also effectively relieve motion sickness. People who are prone to motion sickness should exercise more often.
