What causes motion sickness?

Motion sickness—often called car sickness, sea sickness, or travel sickness—happens when your brain receives conflicting signals. For example, if you’re sitting still in a moving vehicle, your inner ear senses motion, but your eyes don’t. This mismatch can lead to nausea.

Prescription treatments like scopolamine help by blocking the neurotransmitters involved in this response, reducing nausea and vomiting.

Symptoms of motion sickness

• Nausea
• Feelings of warmth
• Sweating
• Hypersalivating
• Stomach awareness
• Vomiting (in extreme cases)
• Drowsiness

About motion sickness

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications like dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) or meclizine can help prevent mild motion sickness symptoms. Prescription treatments, such as scopolamine patches, are often recommended for more severe or persistent symptoms. They may also offer longer-lasting relief but can have different side effects.

Simple strategies like facing forward while traveling, looking at the horizon, keeping fresh air flowing, avoiding heavy meals, and using acupressure wristbands may help reduce symptoms naturally. Ginger supplements or teas are also commonly used as natural remedies.

Yes. Motion sickness from VR—often called cybersickness—happens when your visual perception of movement doesn’t match your body’s sense of balance. It can lead to nausea, dizziness, and fatigue, especially during extended use.

While there’s no permanent cure, many people find effective ways to manage or prevent symptoms through medication, behavioral techniques, or gradually building tolerance over time.
