Have you ever been the passenger on a long car ride, and you start to feel absolutely sick to your stomach? It's worse in the back seat, and it's nearly unbearable if you try to read.
When you buy a pre-owned car from AutoCenters St. Charles, we want you to know how to keep yourself, and all your passengers comfortable on you next adventure.
Car sickness is triggered when the signals sent to your brain from your eyes and inner ear are mismatched. Your eyes see no movement (especially if you are reading), but your inner ear senses movement.
One popular hypothesis for why this causes vomiting is that your body believes it is hallucinating from poison.
The best cure, therefore, is to sit up front and look out the front window, so what you see corresponds to the movement you feel.
If that isn't possible, one low-tech cure is to take a powdered ginger supplement, ginger tea, or, as one doctor suggests, suck on a raw ginger root. Studies have shown that ginger can be an effective treatment.
