Clear Motion Faq

Q:	Why does motion sickness occur?
A:	Motion sickness occurs when conflicting messages are sent to the brain. When the body is subjected to accelerated movement, the inner ear sends information to the brain that conflict with the visual indication that the body is still standing or sitting still. For example, reading while riding in a car sends the message to your brain of no movement, yet your inner ear detects the movement of the car and this is what can make you feel ill.

Q:	Are there steps I can take to help ease motions sickness?
A:	Yes. Seeking areas of lesser movement in the interior of a plane (above the wing near a window) and looking outside can help. On a ship, (middle of the boat or on the deck) facing forward and looking out at the horizon may be helpful. While riding in a car, sitting in the front seat looking straight ahead at the distant scenery can make a difference. Try to avoid rapid changes in position and extreme head motion.
