Sea sickness, caused by conflicting sensory signals in the inner ear and brain, can be managed with natural health strategies that calm the nervous system and reduce nausea. Ginger, a well-researched antiemetic, settles the stomach and alleviates dizziness. Staying hydrated with small sips of water prevents dehydration, which worsens symptoms. Focusing on the horizon stabilizes visual input, helping the brain reconcile sensory conflicts. Fresh air reduces stuffiness, easing nausea. Acupressure on the wrist’s P6 point can also provide relief. These methods, backed by studies, offer practical, non-pharmacological ways to manage motion sickness effectively.
- Chew fresh ginger or sip ginger tea to reduce nausea.
- Apply acupressure to the P6 point (inner wrist) for 1-2 minutes.
- Stay hydrated with small sips of water or electrolyte drinks.
- Focus on a fixed point like the horizon to stabilize vision.
- Get fresh air by staying on deck or near an open window.
