If you are like me the very thought of mountains roads, rough seas, and a hitting turbulence in the air just conjures up memories of nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and those cold sweats that a person feels dealing with motion sickness.
Even though it will not kill you, motion sickness is a miserable feeling and one you don’t want to ever experience. The reason a person suffers with motion sickness is that the inner ear, is what controls balance and plays a main role in motion sickness.
The inner ear catches every motion, and reports it back to the brain, which then triggers the symptoms. You can develop motion sickness with visual stimuli, anxiety, bad odors, and fear. The inner sends confusing messages to the brain even though you may be at rest sitting in a car, which then causes over stimulation and releases stress hormones causing havoc.
Natural remedies like herbal teas, essential oils, and even acupressure can help ease symptoms of motion sickness.
Ginger tea prevents nausea and can be more effective than any other over the counter remedies for motion sickness. It helps relieve cramps, nausea, and any digestive upset.
Peppermint tea works just as well.
Essential oils like Basil relieves cramping and soothes nervous stomachs and digestive upsets. Just place a few drops on a cloth and inhale
Peppermint oil also provides relief from nausea just place a few drops on a cloth and inhale.
Neroli oil can also help with nausea and helps calm the stomach.
A certain acupressure area to stop nausea is located on the inside of your lower arm about 2 inches from your wrist. Apply light pressure in a circular motion. You can find wristbands that when worn will stimulate the area.
