Motion Sickness Can Be Caused By Mixed Messages
Online, July 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - For about two-thirds of the population, motion sickness has ruined at least one perfectly wonderful outing. Whether it takes the form of sea-sickness, car-sickness, air-sickness, or nausea from other motion sources, it's annoying and it's uncomfortable, but often it can be controlled.
An informative new down-loadable booklet, "Motion Sickness: Overcome That Yucky Feeling" (AnswerGirls $1) gives details about this common condition and tips for living contentedly with it. This booklet is available exclusively from www.AnswerGirls.com.
While motion sickness can be caused by serious health issues, or a reaction to prescription drugs, most instances of motion sickness are caused by vestibular (inner ear) problems.
Our inner ears (which maintain balance), and our eyes, each send messages to our brain. At the same time, our other senses send in reports as well. It's up to the brain to process this information and decide on a course of action. When the brain gets mixed messages motion sickness sets in.
Parents will be happy to learn that it's more common in children than adults. Much of that backseat queasiness will disappear as the child ages. But in the meantime, this booklet offers solid suggestions for easing the discomfort.
