Health complaints when traveling

As the French car manufacturer Citroën reported on its website, more than 30 million people in Europe suffer chronically from the so-called motion sickness (kinetosis).

When traveling in the car, bus and Co. they react with complaints such as nausea, cold sweat, dizziness and even vomiting.

In acute situations, it helps to interrupt the drive, get out, move and breathe fresh air. Some sufferers can also help with vitamin C and ginger.

In addition, a variety of aids are offered on the market, for which there is little medical evidence.

Citroën now praises the "first glasses for motion sickness": the "SEETROËN". According to the company, the success rate of this patented medical device is 95 percent.

Conflict of the sense organs is dissolved

According to the car manufacturer, the principle is quite simple: According to this, the glasses generate an artificial horizon using a liquid that moves in rings in front of the eyes (along the frontal axis, right / left) and to the side of the eyes (sagittal axis, forwards / backwards). which dissolves the conflict of sensory organs which causes the symptoms.

The product was originally developed to combat seasickness, but it was decided to extend it to all those affected by motion sickness.

Now "SEETROËN" is supposed to effectively counteract travel sickness on boats as well as in cars, buses and airplanes.

This is how the glasses work

According to the manufacturer, the glasses are put on as soon as the first symptoms appear.

"After ten to twelve minutes, thanks to the glasses, the brain is able to synchronize the movements that the inner ear perceives and the perception of the eyes that are aimed at an immovable object such as a smartphone or a book," explains the car manufacturer.

Then the glasses are removed again.

According to the information, the product can be used by adults and children from ten years (from this age the inner ear is fully trained).

Since the glasses do not have glasses, they can be used by all family members or fellow travelers and also be worn over other glasses. (Ad)
