Whyswaying in transport
Several bodies are responsible for the balance of our body in space. These are receptors located in the tendon-muscle apparatus, a snail in the inner ear and a visual apparatus.
When a person travels by train, plane, car or boat, his body moves from side to side. The amplitude of the displacement is quite small, but this is enough to make the snail in the inner ear "notice" such oscillations. Eyes see - nothing changes. Here there is dissonance, and the receptors of the muscles, skin and mucous membrane of the digestive tract react inadequately, showing symptoms of motion sickness.
There are other cases: the body is stationary, and the eyes notice through the window that the person is moving. It also provokes motion sickness, known to many as "sea sickness".In medicine, this phenomenon is called kinetosis or motion sickness.
The main thing - do not confuse kinetosis with usual drowsiness! If in transport you just wanted to sleep because of the fact that the picture in the window is the same and your eyes are tired, this does not mean that you are sick. Most likely, this is usual fatigue.
To think about taking money from motion sickness, it is necessary, when appears:
- nausea( up to vomiting);
- cold effusion;
- dizziness;
- strong weakness.
In this case, all these symptoms in people suffering from kinetosis, can arise as when traveling on any type of transport, and on a swing, escalator or attractions, looking down from a great height.

For the prevention and treatment of motion sickness in transport, most often use antihistamines and anticholinergics. Mechanisms of action of drugs are based on the suppression of histamine receptors and cholinergic receptors in the central nervous system that block the normal work of the vestibular apparatus.
The antiemetic effect of many drugs is based on blocking the emetic center located in the medulla oblongata, as well as on relaxing the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, reducing peristalsis and slowing down the processes in the salivary glands.
Some pill components stimulate the central nervous system, affect the spinal cord or brain, stimulate the production of adrenaline or influence the semicircular canals of the middle ear, which are associated with maintaining balance and orientation of the body's position in space.
Homoeopathic drugs or tablets containing natural ingredients( eg ginger) are considered more sparing and harmless. They can be used even for infants, children and pregnant women.
