To those who like to travel but always worry about motion sickness, we recommend these methods to you.
Although it may not be flexible due to personal circumstances, try to make the environment as less susceptible to car sickness and seasickness as possible.
- Avoid smells in the car.
*Not only from sight, but smells can also make you more susceptible to sickness. *
If you are concerned about this, it is a good idea to put aroma oil of your favorite scent in your mask.
- Secure the mask to the headrest to prevent head bobbing.

Behaviors
Here are some behaviors to avoid or do when riding a vehicle.
- Sit in the direction of travel and look in the direction of travel as much as possible. It is easy to feel sick if you sit with your back to the direction of travel.
On airplanes, seats face only in the direction of travel, but on trains,
when four people are seated facing each other, they will fight over the
seats that face the direction of travel.
- Avoid putting sour food in your mouth as much as possible.
It is unlikely that you will directly eat lemon in the train, but even candy
or juice can affect you, so be careful.And beware of orange juice from in-
flight service!
- Refrain from eating and drinking.
Lunch boxes, snacks, carbonated beverages, coffee, soup, etc.
can cause carsickness and seasickness.
On the other hand, tea, water, mints, etc.
can be refreshing and may be effective for car sickness/seasickness.
- Do not concentrate on playing mobile games or reading.
Staring at a single point makes you more susceptible to sickness.
