How To Travel By Sea Comfortably

By Quinn Harris


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 get seasick usually aren't used to traveling by the sea or cannot stand the swaying motion of the boat. But some people get seasick even if the boat isn't moving yet or is in the dry dock condition.

Basically, the results and effects of seasickness is not very alarming, except for those who have important matters to attend to while aboard a ship. This means that people who have duties in the ship will have the tendency of not performing their duties well if ever they get to experience seasickness.

Causes of Seasickness

People are generally conditioned to remain upright by maintaining the center of gravity within their feet. If motion is applied, the body tends to have visual confusion. This can cause seasickness.

Also, one can get seasick because of the irregular pressure on the bowels, since the diaphragm will tend to move along with the movement of the ship.

Nowadays, you can take medications for seasickness. These medicines have special components that normalize the condition of the body so as to adapt with the changes in the environment.

How To Deal With It

Aside from medications, there are different ways how to cope up with seasickness. Here's how:

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 be more prepared with medications that will help reduce seasickness.

Studies show that seasickness is more prevalent in adults than children below 12 years old. Particularly, cases of seasickness are higher in females. Statistical reports show that there are 7 cases of seasickness in females and only 1 in males.

Sleep on your back.

Stay where there is fresh air.

Really, seasickness is easy to deal with if you know how.
