Seasickness

Motion sickness or seasickness is a feeling of nausea due to monotonous fluctuations. You can have it even in a car, bus, plane, train. The name "Seasickness" is because this phenomenon first appeared while travelling in the sea. Sometimes children may have it on a swing, "swing disease".

Women are more likely to suffer from the seasickness than men. However, children from 2 to 12 years suffer most from seasickness (58% of children). Approximately 5-10% of the population suffer from seasickness during their lives. Although "sea wolves" like Admiral Nelson and Christopher Columbus, suffered from seasickness.

As a rule, the symptoms of motion sickness begin with a yawning, increased salivation. A person feels dizzy, may has a headache, feels fatigue and ends with nausea and possibly vomiting.

Motion sickness is difficult to avoid. British comedian Spike Milligan once said, "The only sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree."

For those who cannot sit under the tree, homeopathy can help.

The causes of seasickness are still being studied.
