Life can be full of twists and turns; that’s one of those things that makes it worth living, right? There’s nothing like setting off on a drive with no destination and embracing the adventure around every corner. The thrills and mysteries of what lies around every corner are like another chapter of a page-turner that you just can’t wait to read.
While all this might sound exciting and romantic to many, if you’re one of the 1 in 3 Americans who suffers regularly from motion sickness or one of the 1 in 5 Americans considered highly susceptible to vertigo, thinking of life as a road trip with all its twists and turns might not be so enticing. And it can be embarrassing too! Nobody wants to be that guy in the family car who just has to go quiet clutching his stomach in the middle of the road trip laughter and singalongs. Vertigo, if you’ve experienced it, can be as scary as it is discomforting. Sometimes the feeling of dizziness is just so intense that, without warning, you feel like you’re leaving your seat and plunging down a roller coaster.
As scary and awkward as it might be, the good news is that you’re certainly not alone. Though you might feel that way when your friends are screaming a road trip banger while you’re sick with nausea, over 80% of Americans are considered susceptible to motion sickness. Yep, for most of us it’s just one wrong turn away! Vertigo might be a bit less common, but it’s still anything but rare. Surveys have indicated that about 40% of Americans have experienced vertigo and likely will again in the future. So even if you are one of the unfortunate few who gets motion sickness or vertigo more than the next person, chances are at least some of your friends do know the feeling!
Not only are you understood in this world during these unfortunate times where a spell of nausea and dizziness hits, but in better news, you’d be delighted to know that there are in fact treatments and preventative measures you can take to (hopefully) make the next time your last. And no – we’re not talking about some drowsy-inducing anti-nausea pills like you might find at the pharmacy. Anyone who regularly experiences motion sickness has undeniably kept a stash of Dramamine or its generic equivalent around, as it can sometimes do the trick when you need it. But not only is it anything but reliable, its side effects are nothing to be excited about. Sure, maybe it’s better to be a bit drowsy in the car rather than puking, but it’s still not exactly what you’re looking forward to! And that’s not to mention the dozens of potential short-term and long-term negative health drawbacks (many of which are still largely unknown) of regularly consuming synthetic pharmaceuticals.
But could there possibly be a natural, non-harmful solution to vertigo and motion sickness? Let’s go for a drive and see for ourselves what could be around the corner!
