Music stops her rockin’ and rollin’
Kathleen DOHENY failed to mention the best cure in “Researchers Tackle Motion Sickness on Land, Sea and Air,” Healthy Traveler, July 11. Some years ago, a medical journal reported a study showing that listening to music under headphones was better for curing and preventing motion sickness than any pill. Tired of the side effects of medications and unable to take the burning breath of a stomach marinating as a result of a ginger capsule, I found that the headphones worked completely and quickly, even at low volume.
Yes, I might appear antisocial, but that’s nothing compared with how my social skills slip when I’m seasick.
