     Motion sickness is caused by...um.... motion. Symptoms include nausea, drowsiness, malaise and irritability.  Signs include burping, yawning, heartburn, flushing and hyperventilation. It is more effective to treat prophylactically before the symptoms occur.  With many things, the best protection is abstinence! If you must travel, try and do so in calm weather or light terrain. It is helpful to have a view of the horizon. Patients with motion sickness in planes do better when their seat is over a wing. Patients with motion sickness in cars do better in the front seat. These spots will have the least motion. Other behavioral strategies include avoiding reading, wearing sunglasses, closing eyes, avoiding alcohol, avoiding an empty stomach, and staying hydrated.
     Medication can be quite helpful to minimize signs and symptoms. Transdermal scopalamine is the most effective route for relief. Anticholinergic side affects may occur. First generation antihistamines (promethazine) are moderately effective. Diphenhydramine and meclizine are less effective but can be used.  Other medications include benzodiazepines and rizatriptan. 
    Other treatments that are commonly used include ginger root and the P6 acupressure point (on the anterior wrist). Data is limited and may be strictly placebo.

  1. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid, Dercum,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease.Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
