“My stomach’s doing the cha-cha slide.” Traveling by automobile is often one of the best ways of seeing the world. Unlike trains and planes, you can stop and start as you please. Also, today’s cars are minor miracles in how little fuel they consume and how far you can get.
No wonder it’s a top travel selection. But, unlike planes and trains, when you’re in a car, you’re also subject to one downer: car sickness. Dealing with nausea in a car, also known as motion sickness or car sickness, involves a combination of preventative measures and remedies to alleviate symptoms once they start. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to beat the barf.
An easy remedy is to choose the front passenger seat: This is generally the best spot as it offers the smoothest ride and a clear view of the road ahead. Of course, only so many passengers can bundle into the front seat, so you’ll need to be nimble, or good at neotiation.
Avoid the Back Seat: Motion is felt more intensely in the rear, especially in cars with a softer suspension. One of the best and most pleasant approaches (literally) is to focus on the Horizon: Encourage the person prone to nausea to look straight ahead at a distant, stationary object like the horizon or a fixed point on the road. This helps to re-orient the body’s senses.
Finally, Get Fresh Air: Open a window slightly to allow fresh air to circulate. Direct the air vents towards the face. Pretend you’re a dog, with your face flapping in the wind. That’s just fun, anyway.
