How to avoid vomiting in car: Many people get a strange feeling as soon as they get into a vehicle. After covering a short distance, they feel nauseous, ruining the entire journey. This recurring problem confuses many people. A famous teacher from Patna, Khan Sir, has given a unique solution to this problem. He was in class teaching students about the senses when a student asked why a vehicle vomits. Khan Sir explained that it is caused by the ears and eyes. Both send different signals to the brain. This causes confusion, leading to vomiting.
This is the reason why the vehicle vomits
Khan Sir explained that when our sense organs send signals to the brain, their signals must match each other. This is in case of vomiting. When a person is sitting in the vehicle, the vehicle is turned off. If it has air conditioning, the windows will also be closed. In such a situation, the ears signal to the brain that movement is occurring, but the vehicle’s eyes are unable to transmit the signal. It thinks everything is in the same place. This confuses the mind, believing that something is wrong with the body. Therefore, it expels whatever is in the stomach. This causes people to vomit.
Why does the driver not vomit?
When Khan sir was explaining this concept, another student asked, “Sir, there is a driver in the vehicle, why doesn’t he vomit?” Khan Sir explained that the driver’s body is the most active. While driving, his brain, eyes, hands and feet are all in active mode. He constantly pays attention to the road, speed and traffic. Due to this, correct and matched signals reach the brain from every part of the body. Both eyes and ears send the same signals, so the brain does not get confused. So drivers usually don’t get nauseous or dizzy.
What is the solution?
Khan Sir explained that there are several easy ways to avoid this. The first solution is to sit by the window and keep looking out. This keeps your eyes constantly aware of your body’s movement, and the brain receives the right signals. It can reduce nausea to a great extent. He also explained that if you drive yourself, you usually won’t vomit because your whole body is active while driving and the brain gets the right signals.
Additionally, anti-nausea medications are available, which can be taken on the advice of a doctor. Khan Sir shared another interesting solution: a mobile game that provides accurate motion information to the eyes. Downloading it to your phone and playing it may also provide some relief. By adopting all these methods, the problem of motion sickness during travel can be significantly reduced.
What does Khan sir himself do?
Khan sir jokes that he doesn’t usually get nauseous in a car, but once, while driving in the hills of Sikkim, he started feeling dizzy while climbing. He said that during such times, he takes hajmola, which shifts his mind’s focus from movement to taste and chewing. Once the mind is engaged in other activities, the urge to vomit is significantly reduced.
