Gentle rocking has been studied extensively, and has been known for millenia to cure motion sickness in almost all cases.

There are basically three kinds of motion sickness:

• adult onset,
• a viral infection,
• or a blow to the head.

Most cases are adult onset. The last two categories are technically vertigo. There are two maneuvers that often eliminate it; the somersault maneuver and the Epley maneuver. (If you have vertigo, look them up.)

Sleep deprivation can also cause motion sickness, enhance susceptibility to it in the long term, and reduce cognitive performance. (see studies)

Omni-pendulum motion – motion where you are in a support (chair, bed) of some kind suspended from a single point – can help cure motion sickness too.

How this happens is not fully understood, but is well documented. One theory is that rocking puts accumulated toxins into circulation, then sweeps them out.

Children rarely have motion sensitivity.
Yet many adults do, and it gets worse with age.

Ironically, the very thing that sufferers avoid (motion) is the cure. Fortunately, the cure is actually enjoyable!

You begin very slowly, and increase exposure over about 4 – 6 weeks.

Omni-pendulums have been used for centuries to train sailors before setting out to sea, painlessly. When people were about to take a sea voyage, they spent time daily to prepare their bodies for the motion.

Hanging chairs were first used for this. They suspended a chair from a single rope attached to a tree limb. Swinging gently at first, then more forcefully over a months’ time, they cleared the accumulated toxins or “debris”  that causes motion sickness out of their system.

It turns out that an hour daily doing this will cure almost everyone of motion sickness for good.

Having done that, suppplementing the cure by sleeping in a floating bed will solidify that recovery.
