As someone who struggle with motion sickness I'm interested in the science side of this.
So far for me the only effective relief I've found is Quells (sp?) given to me by someone taking me out in a boat. It's from New Zealand. Sea Legs just isn't the same.

Scopolamine patches. You will need a prescription but that's the active ingredient in Kwells.

This looks like a more sophisticated version of the sea bands that my mother in law uses. Sea bands are just a bracelet you wear on both wrists. There is a piece of plastic that presses into your wrist. This pressure is supposed to help your motion sickness. I never felt that worked for me.
ReplyDeleteThis relief band looks similar only it adds pulses.
Sea bands didn't work for me either that's why I would want to see the science.
ReplyDeleteCass Morrison I presume you understand the basic mechanism of motion sickness: the disconnect between the inner ear / vestibular system and the eye. It has a parallel in space as well: often as not, astronauts on the ISS get motion sickness: SAS

I've taught sailing since I was a teenager. A boat full of teenagers and someone starts getting motion sickness - I know I shouldn't, but I am not above getting out the scissors and sticking a chunk of scop transdermal patch on a sick kid and dosing them with Gatorade. Clears up in a few minutes. There's scopolamine and everything else.
Yes I do understand:) I used to gt a lot of ear infections as a kid and my motion sickness was a lot worse. Now as long as I'm not hungry or bobbing (in a boat) at the right frequency, I can control it. I've also gotten good and discretely holding a barf bag and knowing when to use it. I like scopolamine because it doesn't make me drowsy and works very quickly.
