Homeopathic remedy for seasickness

What exactly is seasickness and why does it happen?

Seasickness is a type of motion sickness that some people experience when they are on ships. It can affect practically anyone, though people who are a bit more sensitive to motion sickness when in cars or even airplanes, are somewhat more prone to seasickness as well. The main reason why this disease occurs is related to the inner ear balance system because moving of the crafts on water produces stress and confusion to the inner ear, since people become aware of the fact that things that usually stand still are moving on the craft along with it. It usually takes a few days for the brain and the balancing portion of it to become accustomed to the new circumstances, but until that happens, people usually fight with nausea, and even vomiting. Seasickness is the reason why so many people avoid going on cruise for holidays.

Homeopathic remedies for seasickness

The treatment of seasickness is mostly focused on the treatment of the symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, but the fact is that there are some medications that can be used in order to prevent seasickness. So, it is advised to people who are about to go on the cruise for the first time to take them, just in case they find themselves affected by this uncomfortable condition. On the other side, there are homeopathic remedies that are also helpful when it comes to seasickness, and they may even be a much better choice than medications, because they cannot cause any additional problems. Here we will mention some of these remedies and in which situations each of them should be used.

Arsenicum album is a good choice for those who cannot bear the smell of food or anything else, and who experience nausea and vomiting, but along with the burning sensation and pain in the stomach or throat. Bryonia is helpful when a person feels symptoms of nausea, pain and pressure in the stomach, and when even the slightest movements worsen these symptoms, so the person feels comfortable only when not moving or being touched. Kali bichromicum helps when nausea is followed by vertigo and vomiting of yellow fluid, while petroleum is suggested in cases when vomiting and nausea are followed by cold sweat and ache in the back of the head or neck. Sepia helps with dizziness and when even the sight or smell of the food increases nausea, while tabacum is recommended in violent vomiting, followed by paleness in face and icy feet and hands.
