Motion sickness is mainly triggered by movement (motion).
The condition occurs because the movements that your inner ear senses are different from what your eyes are seeing.
For instance, when traveling via sea, your inner ears will sense movement left and right, up and down but your eyes will see a motionless view.
The conflicting information between the inner ears and eye sends a mixed signal to the brain which in turn triggers the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and migraines among many others.
Common causes of motion sickness:
- Traveling on an empty stomach
- Not having access to fresh air
- Using electronic devices such as smartphone, iPod and tablets
- Reading books when traveling
- Sitting while facing the opposite direction to the direction of motion.
- Sitting at the back of the car or train.
