Introduction
To prevent motion sickness with Fengyoujing (essential balm), it is usually applied to areas such as the temples and behind the ears before riding in a vehicle. For best results, apply Fengyoujing to the temples, behind the ears, the philtrum, wrists, and other areas prior to traveling, which can help prevent discomforts such as nausea and vomiting. Before using Fengyoujing, individuals should ensure they do not have any contraindications; those allergic to the product should avoid using it.
Applying essential balm to prevent motion sickness usually involves placing it on areas such as the temples and behind the ears before riding in a vehicle. The details are as follows:
Essential balm is a commonly used medication in clinical practice, with main ingredients including menthol, eucalyptus oil, eugenol, camphor, etc. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cooling effects, and is typically used to relieve discomfort caused by headaches due to colds, insect bites, motion sickness, and similar conditions. To prevent motion sickness, apply the balm to the temples, behind the ears, philtrum (area between nose and upper lip), wrists, and other areas prior to boarding the vehicle. This can help prevent symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
Before using essential balm, individuals should ensure they do not have any contraindications. Those allergic to the product should avoid using it altogether. Monitor for adverse reactions during use; if skin irritation occurs, wash the area immediately with clean water. Seek medical attention promptly if symptoms become severe. Passengers prone to motion sickness should try to sit in front seats near windows, keep the car well-ventilated, and avoid consuming strongly flavored or spicy foods to prevent worsening of motion sickness symptoms.
