T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here are actually a handful of natural methods to stave off motion sickness, as well as remedies you can turn to for relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Do We Get Motion Sickness?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About one in three people are highly susceptible to motion sickness, according to a study published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/hmg\/article\/24\/9\/2700\/2385879?login=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human Molecular Genetics<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But the underlying causes of this condition aren\u2019t well-understood and there are some competing theories as to what causes it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the prevailing theories is that your body is simply confused when it&#8217;s being transported, explains the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/12782-motion-sickness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>. While traveling on a plane, train, automobile, or boat, your brain receives mixed signals from motion-sensing parts of the body, like the eyes, inner ears, muscles, and joints<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and isn\u2019t able to decipher if you\u2019re stationary or moving. For instance, your body could be completely still inside of a car as you see passing trees out the window and your inner ear senses movement. The result of the confusion: You feel sick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another hypothesis that was put forth in the journal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/science.301659\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> back in 1977 suggests that motion sickness is an evolutionary adaptation developed to protect ourselves from poison. Some toxins can affect your vestibular system, triggering a vomit response, which could be beneficial if you had been poisoned. Motion, whether in a car or on a carnival ride, also throws off your vestibular system, which could mean your body thinks it needs to detoxify and that\u2019s why you have the sudden urge to lose your cookies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/natural-ways-to-repel-bugs-and-soothe-bites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Natural Ways To Repel And Soothe Bug Bites<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we do know is that some people are more prone to motion sickness, and the groups most likely to endure it are children ages two to 12 and women, according to the Cleveland Clinic. However, some other factors that can increase your odds of motion sickness include a family history of motion sickness, taking hormonal birth control, inner ear disorders, menstrual periods, migraines, Parkinson\u2019s disease, and pregnancy. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human Molecular Genetics<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests that poor sleeping patterns can make people more prone to motion sickness, and other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK539706\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have shown that fit people are also highly susceptible because they have a more reactive autonomic system, which is a part of the nervous system that\u2019s responsible for regulating things like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How To Prevent Motion Sickness<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re preparing for a trip or headed to an amusement park, it\u2019s important to tap into your prior experiences and start by limiting or avoiding foods that typically cause you GI discomfort, says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcs.uga.edu\/people\/bio\/emma-laing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emma Laing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Ph.D., R.D.N., director of dietetics at the University of Georgia and national spokesperson for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatright.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During or immediately before travel, stick to smaller, more frequent meals and snacks instead of larger ones to support digestion, Laing suggests. Focusing on bland, non-spicy foods (like low-sodium crackers, cereal, apples, or bananas) and curbing those that have a strong odor can help some people reduce the symptoms of motion sickness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/how-to-manage-a-sunburn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>An Expert Guide To Caring For A Sunburn<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you get in motion, you\u2019ll also want to be well-hydrated. Though many people tend to avoid drinking during travel to avoid frequent bathroom breaks, staying hydrated is super-important for combatting the symptoms of motion sickness, Laing says. You see, \u201cmild dehydration can exacerbate feelings of motion sickness by contributing to headaches, dizziness, and lightheadedness,\u201d she explains. \u201cSipping on cold beverages like still or carbonated water can be helpful, as well as minimizing your intake of caffeinated beverages and avoiding alcohol.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, should your motion sickness get really bad, not drinking enough water coupled with vomiting could lead to severe dehydration, Laing adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Natural Ways To Soothe Motion Sickness<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re about to board a boat or go on a road trip, you may want to pack a few things that experts say can help relieve motion sickness. Here are four natural ways to ease the upset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Ginger<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consuming <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/herbs-a-z\/herbs-f-n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ginger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in small doses (think chopped, grated or powdered ginger root, crystallized ginger, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/herbal-teas\/other-tea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ginger tea<\/a>) can ease symptoms associated with motion sickness by <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23638927\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supporting digestion<\/a>, Laing says. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12576305\/#:~:text=Abstract,the%20elevation%20of%20plasma%20vasopressin.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have also hypothesized that ginger can prevent gastric dysrhythmias, abnormal stomach rhythms that can cause discomfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25872115\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research results<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> regarding ginger and motion sickness are inconsistent, there\u2019s certainly no harm in giving this warming root a try, Laing says. Just check in with a healthcare provider first if you take any medications since ginger can react with certain drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Chewing gum<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love gum? One study published in the journal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34997261\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experimental Brain Research<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> showed that chewing gum can help prevent motion sickness. \u201cBoth peppermint and ginger chewing gum were equally effective,\u201d says dietitian Lindsey Delk, R.D., owner of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/foodandmooddietitian.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food and Mood Dietitian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cWhile it isn\u2019t clear why this works, it could possibly be due to the distraction of the gum, as well as the pleasant taste.\u201d Just try to go for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/xlear-spry-gum-peppermint-100-gum\/xl-7006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stick that&#8217;s naturally flavored and sweetened<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Chamomile Tea<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have some lingering effects of motion sickness after a long car ride or a day at the theme park, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2995283\/#R54\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggest that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/herbal-teas\/other-tea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chamomile tea<\/a> can reduce stomach acids and relax stomach muscles, thereby soothing the stomach and working against nausea, says dietitian Kristin Gillespie, M.S., R.D., L.D., an advisor for <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/exercisewithstyle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise With Style<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A nice mug might be just what you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Licorice root lozenges<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to its soothing properties, licorice root is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">commonly used<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imedpub.com\/articles\/herbal-medicines-possible-risks-andbenefits.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ease stomach discomfort<\/a> and irritation, promote digestion, and help work against nausea and vomiting, Gillespie says. For this reason, licorice root lozenges may be a good go-to if you\u2019re dealing with motion sickness. You can also find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/organic-three-roots-tea-12-tea-bags\/uj-1037\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">licorice root in a variety of herbal teas<\/a>.
