What is the most effective way to cure motion sickness?

Cars are a very common means of transportation nowadays. Almost every household has a car. We often use cars when we travel. However, many people have such a situation when riding in a car, that is, they feel very uncomfortable, feel nauseous in the stomach, want to vomit, and have dizziness and headaches. This phenomenon is motion sickness. So how should motion sickness be treated?

Open the window. Although it's not clear why, many people find that breathing in fresh, cool air makes them feel better. If you can't open the window, you can breathe against the bottom of the window. Outside air may enter the car from there. Some people find certain smells more bothersome, such as car air freshener, perfume, cigarette smoke, and food odors. Try to eliminate the source of the odor or allow fresh air to flow into the car. If neither of those options works, try a light spray of a calming scent, like lavender or mint, to mask the other smells.

Stop and rest for a while. Get out of the car and stretch your muscles. Sit on a bench or under a tree and breathe deeply through your mouth, drawing the air into your abdomen and exhaling it to help your body relax. This is especially important if the car has to travel on a winding mountain road for a while. Frequent stops not only help reduce motion sickness symptoms, but also allow drivers to rest well.

Press the acupoints. If you think you might be experiencing motion sickness, gently apply pressure to your forearm from the center of your wrist, between the two tendons, about an inch or so toward your elbow. This is Neiguan point. You can also purchase Neiguan acupoint massage wristbands. [2] Pressing on these points should temporarily delay or reduce nausea, allowing you to hold off until you stop the car and rest.

Motion sickness is quite common for most people because of long-distance bus rides, or they may not be used to riding in cars. Some people with poor stomachs are also prone to motion sickness. When you get motion sickness, it is recommended that you relax, don't concentrate too much, and don't always stare at one thing.
