Have you ever had reasons to throw up in between a road trip or even experience dizziness amid an air trip? Yes what you‘ve just experienced is travel sickness otherwise called motion sickness.

Travel sickness might just be new to you but then it is real and it happens to people. Travel sickness is one awkward moment for travelers and it is generally aroused by vehicular movement of any sort. It is that sickness that researchers said first causes disturbance in the inner ear and later result into nausea, dizziness, vomiting etc.

It is an unintentional discomfort that accompanies travel. Researchers explained that motion is detected by the brain through different pathways of the nervous system which includes the eyes, the inner ear, and the tissues of the body surface. This further explains that when the body is moved intentionally, for example while walking, the response from all of the pathways is coordinated by our brain.

Medical news today explains that the symptom of travel sickness appears when the central nervous system receives conflicting messages from the sensory systems: the inner ear, eyes, skin pressure receptors, and the muscle and joint sensory receptors. For example, if someone is sat on a boat or in a car (not looking out of a window), their inner ears sense movement up and down, left and right, but their eyes see a static view, as if they are not moving at all. It is hypothesized that the conflict among the inputs is responsible for motion sickness.
