Air Sickness
Air Sickness is a disorder caused by motion. It may include nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
The primary culprit in this condition is excess stimulation to the inner ear's maze of fluid-filled canals, responsible for maintaining the body's balance. Poor ventilation, anxiety or other emotional upset, and visual stimuli may contribute to air sickness.
Suggestions that can help avoid air sickness :
Don't read during travel.
Keep your line of vision fairly straight ahead.
Avoid excess food or alcohol before and during extended travel. Avoid all food and drinks on short trips.
Stay where motion is felt the least-the front seat of a car, near the wings of an airplane, or amidship (preferably on deck).
Avoid tobacco smoke and other odors, particularly from food.
