The phenomenon of dizziness in flight crew is not only unbearable for the body, but also seriously affects the mood of the trip, which is very inconvenient for both others and yourself. So, what are some quick and effective ways to solve the problem of motion sickness when riding in public transportation? Today I will teach you ten tips to prevent and treat motion sickness (on boats and planes). Use it as a reward!

1. For those who are prone to motion sickness (boat or airplane), please

Take a piece of cold and pain relief ointment and stick it on the liver navel (called Shenque point). If the ride lasts more than one day, change the patch on the next day. It can effectively prevent motion sickness (on ships, airplanes, and the same below).

2. Tighten your belt before getting on the bus

Preventing internal organs from moving excessively in the body can help prevent motion sickness.

3. People who are prone to motion sickness

You should carry a piece of fresh ginger with you. You can chew two slices of fresh ginger before getting on the bus. This will greatly reduce motion sickness.

4. Don’t be nervous, keep your mind relaxed

Don't dwell on motion sickness. It's best to find someone to chat with to distract you.

5. Get enough sleep before traveling.

Getting enough sleep will make you feel more energetic, which can improve your ability to resist the stimulation of bumpy movements in a car.

6. Do not be too hungry or too full before taking public transportation.

If you ride hungry, your stomach will be empty and you will easily feel exhausted, nausea, and vomiting after the bumpy ride. Eat only until you are 70% to 80% full, especially avoid high-protein and high-fat foods, otherwise you will easily experience nausea and vomiting.

7. People who are prone to dizziness should not ride in vehicles or boats

Try to choose a seat that is relatively stable and in line with the direction of travel. And air circulation should be maintained.

8. The seat should be comfortable and fixed

When running, your back should be supported, your head should be properly fixed, and try to avoid excessive swinging.

9. Half an hour before boarding a public transportation vehicle

Take motion sickness medicine orally, so that the motion sickness medicine can be effective. Taking the medicine too early or too late will not be effective or will have no effect.

10. Vehicle operation

Try not to look at fast-moving objects outside the window. It is best to close your eyes and rest. If you feel sleepy, congratulations on falling asleep as soon as possible!
