Most people have motion sickness. You'll see this in people who travel frequently by land, air or sea. The different forms of motion sickness are based on the kind of transportation that they employ.

Seasickness is one of the most common kinds of motion sickness. It usually brings about nausea and vertigo.

People who experience seasickness are those who are not conditioned to travel by sea or who cannot stand the swaying motion of the boat brought about by the waves. Though, there are others who experience seasickness as soon as they step aboard, even if the ship is not yet moving or is in the dry dock condition.

The effects of seasickness aren't serious or alarming, except for those who have other matters to attend to. So if people who have duties on the ship get seasick, they might not be able to do their duties well.

The Reasons One Can Get Seasick

Generally, people are conditioned to stay upright by maintaining the center of gravity within their feet. Motion causes some visual confusion. Here, seasickness starts.

Moreover, the irregular pressure on the bowels, wherein the diaphragm tends to move along with the movement of the ship, can also cause seasickness.

Today, there are medications available for seasickness. These medications contain certain compounds that normalize the body's condition in a change of environment.

Tricks to Deal With it

You can also apply a few tricks aside from taking medication for seasickness. Here's a list:

Waves can cause seasickness.

Most experts say that it would be better to focus one's sight to the horizon. It would be better if people will not look at the waves because the motion that it entails will render more confusion on the body's ability to keep the center of gravity on their feet.

Adults should bring medications for seasickness.

Studies tell us that seasickness is more common in adults than in kids below 12 years of age. More women get seasick. Statistics tell us that there are 7 cases of seasickness in females and only 1 in males.

Lie on your back when you sleep.

Go to areas with plenty of fresh air.

Indeed, seasickness is not a problem if people will know how to cope up with it.
