How To Deal With Motion Sickness During Traveling?

What Are the Causes of Travel Sickness?

The sensory conflict theory is the most widely recognised. It is an inner ear disturbance produced by frequent movements. That occurs when your vestibular system tells you one thing while your other senses tell you something else. As a result of the conflict, the vestibular system becomes confused and overactive. When this occurs, the body attempts to correct the situation, resulting in travel sickness.

Ayo Light-Based Wearable

The AYO Light Based Wearable Therapy Glasses are intended to promote wakefulness by suppressing melatonin production naturally. The mild blue light from AYO enters the user's eyes and triggers photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells, which are sensory cells in the retina (ipRGCs). This delivers a biological signal through the optic nerve to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a brain area involved for circadian rhythm control. Blue-light treatment from AYO helps to keep the circadian rhythm in sync with the 24-hour day/night cycle and ease the symptoms of daytime sleepiness to improve sleep quality, boost energy levels, or acclimatise to a new time zone after travel to overcome jetlag. AYO emits a blue-turquoise light with a wavelength of around 470nm. The irradiance levels of AYO are 250 W/cm2, which is equivalent to 10,000 lux of intense light. Most users benefit from a 30-minute therapy session once each day, generally in the morning during the daily routine (getting dressed, brushing teeth, etc.). However, depending on each individual's circadian cycle and sensitivity to light therapy, the best timing may differ. Some users may feel an increase in energy and mood after just one session with AYO, while others may require numerous sessions to detect a long-term benefit. The AYO light is intended to integrate into a user's lifestyle in order to enhance their chosen health and wellness goals.

Optipillows EPAP Mask Anti Snoring Sleeping Aid EPAP Device

A reusable EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) mask called the OptiPillows is used to cure snoring and moderate nasal hypertrophy. The nasal pillow cushion and headpiece that make up the OptiPillows EPAP Mask have an adjustable resistance valve that makes it possible for air to flow freely and without resistance during an inspiratory breath. Similar to a CPAP nasal pillows mask, the adjustable head straps attached to the sides of the mask keep the mask in place. Exhaled air is redirected through a small aperture on the side of the valve during exhalation.

By delaying the breath out and causing resistance to expiratory airflow, the opening increases the backpressure in the upper airways. EPAP greatly widens the upper airway and stops the soft palate vibrations that snoring is caused by. Additionally, by preventing the upper airway from collapsing, this increase also lessens minor airway blockage. The expiratory hole of the OptiPillows EPAP valve can be opened or closed by turning the sleeve; the more closed the valve is, the greater expiratory resistance is produced.

How to Stop Snoring sleeping: Naturally or Via Therapy

Most people consider snoring sleeping to be an amusing, slightly unpleasant behavior that they, their partner, or someone they know has. But we did investigate the issue ‘Is snoring bad?’ and discovered that it is a cause for concern. Snoring is caused by airway blockages while we sleep and can pose a number of health problems.

Ayo Light-Based Wearable

The purpose of the AYO Light-Based Wearable glasses is to increase wakefulness by reducing melatonin production naturally. The soft blue light from AYO enters the user's eyes and activates photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, which are sensory cells (ipRGCs). This transmits a biological signal to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a part of the brain that regulates circadian rhythm, via the optic nerve. In order to improve sleep quality, increase energy levels, or quickly acclimatise to a new time zone after travel to avoid jet lag, AYO blue-light therapy helps to maintain the circadian rhythm in synchrony with the 24-hour day/night cycle.

Optipillows EPAP Mask Anti Snoring Sleeping Aid EPAP device for moderate snoring |  $119.99

OptiPillows is a reusable EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) mask for treatment of snoring that also includes mild nasal dilation. The OptiPillows EPAP mask consists of a nasal pillow cushion with headgear and has an adjustable resistance valve that allows air to flow freely without resistance during an inspiratory breath. The mask is held in place with adjustable head straps connected to the sides of the mask, similar in design to a nasal pillows CPAP mask. During exhalation, the expired breath is redirected through a narrow opening on the side of the valve. The opening creates resistance to expiratory airflow, slowing the breath out and thus increasing the backpressure in the upper airways. EPAP significantly expands the upper airway and eliminates vibrations of the soft palette that cause snoring. This increase also prevents the upper airway from collapsing, alleviating mild airway obstruction. The OptiPillows EPAP valve can be adjusted by rotating the sleeve to open or close the expiratory hole – the more closed the valve is the higher the expiratory resistance generated.

Under low temperature and low moisture climate (e. g. winter), it is recommended to start the treatment at least 10 minutes before experiencing nausea.

It is recommended to change to the other wrist after 30 minutes using for the users who are used in a humid environment or have allergic skin.

 How does the Emeterm band work?

Nausea and vomiting are caused by transmission of a nausea signal to the stomach via the human brain, which causes the stomach to contrast irregularly, resulting in vomiting. By releasing a low-frequency pulse with a particular frequency, EmeTerm bracelet can adjust the vagus nerve signals traveling to and from the stomach, and can prevent or postpone the brain from transmitting nausea signals to the stomach. This then slows down the irregular gastric contraction, and reduces the nauseous sensation for the users.

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It consists of a small unit, attached to the head via electrode pads, through which a harmless electrical signal is passed. The sensation is not painful or unpleasant, and can be likened to "pins and needles", or even gentle massage. Nausea and vomiting are caused by transmission of a nausea signal to the stomach via the human brain, which causes the stomach to contrast irregularly, resulting in vomiting. By releasing a low-frequency pulse with a particular frequency, EmeTerm can adjust the vagus nerve signals traveling to and from the stomach, and can prevent or postpone the brain from transmitting nausea signals to the stomach. This then slows down the irregular gastric contraction, and reduces the nauseous sensation for the users.

EmeTerm attached to the wrist via electrode pads, delivers signal through the median nerve at the location on the underside of the wrist.

These signals travel through the body's nervous system to the part of the brain which controls nausea, which causes the stomach to contrast irregularly, resulting in vomiting.

By releasing a low-frequency pulse, it can adjust the vagus nerve signal traveling to and from the stomach, and can prevent or postpone the brain from transmitting nausea signals to the stomach, then reduces the nauseous sensation for the users.

Related Information - Pregnancy &EmeTerm

Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) is commonly experienced in early pregnancy , most frequently between 6 and 12 weeks (first trimester). NVP can continue till 20 weeks, and persist after this time for up to 20 % of women.
