Motion sickness is a kind of motion sickness. Due to different means of transport, it can be divided into motion sickness, seasickness, airsickness (aviation motion sickness) and cosmic motion sickness. Motion sickness is a disease caused by any form of acceleration, such as bumping, rocking and rotation, produced by the movement of cars, ships or aircraft, which stimulates the vestibular nerve of the human body. The following is what causes my carsickness. I hope I can help you.
So what kind of people are more likely to get carsick
Compared with adults, children are more likely to get carsick and have more severe symptoms than adults. Because before the age of 4, the child's vestibular function development is not perfect. After the age of 4, it tends to be perfect, and it is fully developed and mature at the age of 16. With the gradual improvement of vestibular function, children's symptoms of carsickness will become lighter and lighter, and even disappear.
At the same time, sitting in the rear row is more likely to get carsick than in the front row. This is because sitting in the rear seat of the car can not guarantee a wide field of vision. When the balance organ in your ear is adapting to the speed of moving forward, your eyes do not have enough field of vision to determine whether you are moving or stationary. If your eyes focus on the objects inside the vehicle at this time, the brain will receive the signal of "no movement", resulting in the information synchronization between the inner ear and the brain, And then dizziness.
How to prevent carsickness
Although carsickness is common, it can be prevented. For children, due to the imperfect development of the nervous system, drugs are easy to enter the central nervous system, which will have side effects on the development of the nervous system. Therefore, it is not recommended that children under the age of 8 use motion sickness drugs and long-acting motion sickness stickers. For children, some natural therapies can be used to prevent and alleviate carsickness. For example:
1. Before traveling, ensure adequate sleep and don't eat too full and greasy.
2. About an hour before taking the bus, fold the surface of the fresh orange peel outward and inward, and then squeeze it against the two nostrils, and the fragrant oil mist will be sprayed in the peel. It can be inhaled more than 10 times, and it can be inhaled at any time on the way.
3. Take fresh ginger slices in your hand and smell them under your nostrils at any time during driving, so as to inhale the pungent flavor into your nose. You can also stick ginger tablets on your navel and fix them with Shangshi Zhitong ointment.
In addition to the above, there are other methods in natural therapy, which can be used according to your own needs. Of course, these natural therapies are also applicable to adults. In addition, adults can also use motion sickness drugs and motion sickness stickers. Here I remind you to keep the air in the car clean and ventilated frequently, which can alleviate motion sickness.
