In this episode of “Ok Now You Know,” host Joe Garner delves into the intricacies of motion sickness, exploring what causes this common yet distressing phenomenon, who is most susceptible, and various strategies to prevent it. Joe breaks down the role of the vestibular system in our ears and how its interaction with visual cues can lead to symptoms such as nausea and dizziness.
Joe informs listeners that while some individuals are more genetically inclined to experience motion sickness, age also plays a significant role, with children being particularly prone to it. He offers practical tips for alleviating symptoms, from focusing on a fixed point on the horizon to positional adjustments in different travel modes. With a discussion on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological remedies, such as over-the-counter medications and acupressure bands, Joe equips listeners with a comprehensive toolkit to manage motion sickness effectively.
