How to prevent motion sickness? Just a few simple steps!

I believe everyone has experienced motion sickness. If it is not too serious, you will just feel dizzy, but if it is serious, you may vomit, which greatly affects our mood when traveling. So, what methods can be used to prevent motion sickness when taking public transportation?

Looking out the front window

Looking out the window helps resolve the disharmony that causes motion sickness by signaling to the brain that the body is actually moving. Stare at a distant, stationary object, such as the horizon. Avoid activities that keep your eyes fixed in one place, such as reading or playing cards. Avoid turning around or looking left and right all the time.

Sit in the front row

Consider driving yourself (if you can). Drivers rarely get carsick because they keep their eyes on the road. Sitting in the front passenger seat is the next best option. You'll have a better view, and the front seat in some cars is less bumpy. If you can't or don't want to drive, imagine or pretend you're driving in your mind. This can often prevent or reduce nausea.

Close your eyes

Sleep (if you can). Closing your eyes means you can't see anything, eliminating the factors that cause motion sickness. In addition, sleeping can effectively take your mind off the fact that you are experiencing motion sickness.

Open 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 a window, you can breathe against the bottom of the window. Outside air may be coming into the car from there. Some people find that certain smells make them feel worse, such as car air fresheners, perfume, cigarette smoke, and food odors. Try to eliminate the source of the odor, or let fresh air flow into the car. If neither of these methods work, lightly spray a calming scent, such as lavender or mint, to cover other odors.
