A doctor has said that there is a natural way to deal with car sickness that doesn't require medication. Reacting to a video of a woman wearing unusual glasses which she calls a “fashion crime”, Dr Karan Rajan says that people should actually give them a try.
Helping to relieve an issue we've all had before, and will probably have again, the UK based NHS surgeon, university lecturer and author who has amassed over 5.3 million followers on TikTok and is known as Dr Raj, said: "If you get motion sickness, these clown glasses might actually stop you being sick.".
Explaining why we feel sick in the car, the expert says: "Motion sickness happens because of a software glitch in your brain. "Your eyes and your ears perceive different sensory inputs, for example, if you’re in a moving vehicle whether that’s a car, boat or plane, your ears and vestibular system sense motion but your eyes see your body and internal environment as relatively static.
"Your brain is now receiving conflicting signals from both organ systems it relies on to tell where it is in space." Because of this, your body's signals are not working together and get confused. He further explains: "This compatibility error results in the feelings of nausea. These glasses don’t actually have any lenses. Instead these four liquid filled rims creates an artificial moving horizon to match the motion of the vehicle you are in.
