Make traveling a pleasure trip.

Tweet

We all love to travel. It relieves us from the dull and monotous life of everyday. But unfortunately, traveling may not always be a pleasure and occasionally may be an exhausting saga of attacks of motion sickness. The giddiness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting which characterize motion sickness may be so severe that traveling may be treated as a torture for those affected by motion sickness. Certain simple precautions can help you cope- 1.Be aware of situations that tend to trigger symptoms and avoid them. 2.Optimize seating position while traveling. Sit in the front seat of a car or bus or over the wing of an aircraft. Keep your head still. Try to focus on a distant stationary object. 3. Do not eat a heavy meal, drink caffeinated beverages, alcohol or eat chocolate or sweets before travel. Chewing gum does help. 4. Eating ginger helps some people. 5. Some odours like mint or lime may reduce nausea. Other smells like cigarette smoke may aggravate it. So those who are prone to motion sickness or have history of previous motion sickness should always be careful about it before starting any journey and should follow the precautionary measures stated above. If all these fail to save him or her, he or she should take medicines at least 1 hour before the actual journey to make it a pleasure trip. Are you a victim of motion sickness?
