100-Hertz Tone Shows Promise in Non-Invasive Motion Sickness Treatment
Scientists have discovered a promising, non-invasive method to treat motion sickness. A specific tone, played at a safe volume of 80 decibels, has shown potential in alleviating symptoms such as nausea and dizziness.
This tone, with a frequency of 100 Hertz, may directly stimulate the balance organ in the inner ear, affecting calcium particles called otoliths. Listening to it before exposure to motion cues can significantly reduce symptoms. While more research is needed, this method offers an alternative to medication, being easy to apply and without known risks.
Other proven measures to combat motion sickness include fixing the horizon, getting fresh air, consuming ginger, and using acupressure wristbands. Currently, there's no public information about institutions or companies vying for the rights to use this 100-Hertz tone for treating travel-related vertigo.
The 100-Hertz tone, played at a safe volume, shows promise in treating motion sickness. It may stimulate the inner ear directly and reduce symptoms like nausea and dizziness. More research is needed, but this non-invasive method offers a potential alternative to medication.
