INTRODUCTION:
Motion sickness may occur as a result of sea, land, or air travel. Although the exact mechanism varies from person to person, it would seem that repetitive stimulation of the vestibular apparatus plays a large part; it is not possible to produce sickness in animals who have had their vestibular apparatus removed, nor are deaf mutes seasick. Susceptibility to motion sickness varies, but is particularly common in migrainous subjects. The victim of motion sickness complains of feeling unwell with nausea, headache, and sometimes faintness. Finally symptoms can become extremely severe and terminate in vomiting. These symptoms can affect social life and create problems at the place of work. The duration of the attack is variable and may last only a few hours, although in susceptible subjects it may be prolonged for several days.
INDICATIONS:
Motion sickness and consequent problems like nausea, vomiting, headache, sweating, vertigo, indigestion leading to irritability and vexation due to noise etc.
