You can easily teach yourself how to treat motion sickness naturally with some common homeopathic home prescribing medicines. There aren’t that many, so learning to differentiate between them, telling them apart, won’t take you that long.
Motion sickness affects different people different ways. Some people suffer with nausea and vomiting, others more with vertigo. For some even the thought of food brings on the nausea. For others, fresh air helps them the most.
Sometimes motion sickness comes after an event, whereas before, you didn’t have any such problem.
It’s the subtle signs that are important.
The homeopathic medicine Cocculus indicus is one of the best medicines for motion sickness, when the symptoms are true vertigo. The world seems to spin every time you try to sit up or get up from lying down. So you have to spend the duration of the trip lying down.
Not only that, but nausea and/or diarrhoea can accompany the vertigo. This means the very idea of food is unacceptable.
With Cocculus, the stomach isn’t the problem. It’s not that the food needs to be purged up to re-balance your system. It’s more of a central problem, than a local one.
Cocculus is much more than a motion sickness medicine. Few homeopathic medicines only have one application of use. They are mostly multi task, or perhaps more accurately, multi ailment orientated.
The other strong aspect about Cocculus is the total exhaustion after nursing a loved one through a long illness. This means that not only are you fatigued from the loss of sleep this may entail, but also from the emotional strain of caring.
This can lead to a new problem for you, with motion sickness. So if you have spent a long time nursing someone, and after this you started to suffer with motion sickness, then Cocculus may help resolve both the sickness and the exhausted grief.
