Seasickness is an unpleasant sense of nausea that ranges from mild to crippling. It is generally considered to be a result of dissonance between the balancing mechanisms of your inner ears and the visual perception of your surroundings. In boating case, if the boat appears still while your inner ear detects motion, you may feel sick as a result. In this article, we would like to share some helpful tips to prevent seasickness with some helpful remedies.

• Get Plenty of Rests
  Make sure that you have plenty of rest and get your body prepared for the boating adventure. Lacking of sleep will worsen the symptoms of your seasickness. A "prepared" body will make a big difference.
  
• Review The Weather
  Ensure that the weather will cooperate with your boating plan. If you're prone to seasickness and the weather looks particularly volatile, it may be in your best interest to reschedule to a calm and peaceful day that will be much easier to manage your seasickness.
  
• Plan Your Route and Vessel Carefully
  It is a bright idea to plan your route and vessels. The larger the vessels, the more powerful it becomes, and it means that it tends to be more resilient to seasickness compared to the smaller ones. Moreover, choosing the routes with calmer waters and avoid choppy or tumultuous waters might help to ease and prevent your seasickness.
  
• Take An Antiemetic Drug
  Antiemetic medications are designed to prevent and treat nausea, reducing the symptoms of seasickness. There are several different types of drugs that fit this category, and many different brands for each of those types. However, if you want a stronger scopolamine drug, you’ll need to get a prescription. Either way, antiemetics can be taken as a preventative measure or in response to seasickness developing. Also, be aware that some types of antiemetic drugs can interact with other drugs or cause significant side effects; consult with a doctor before taking any.
  
• Don’t be Embarrassed
  If you feel the symptoms of seasickness begin to emerge, try not to feel embarrassed. This is something that happens to a lot of people, and there’s no shame in it. Accepting the feeling can help you process it.
  
• Look at The Horizon
  If you feel the symptoms of seasickness starting to come on in the cabin, head out to the deck and stare at the horizon. Remember, seasickness is at least partially attributable to a mismatch between what your inner ear is experiencing and what your eyes are seeing. If your eyes can more easily track the motion of your surroundings, some of your symptoms will fade. This is also a good way to get fresh air, making you feel more comfortable and relaxed as you process your symptoms.
  
• Have A Light Snack
  Research shows that having something light in your stomach can make nausea symptoms much more tolerable. Have a light snack that are gentle to your stomach and avoid any foods that might agitate your stomach.
  
• Avoid Alcohol
  It’s common for people to drink at sea to make the most of the relaxing experience, however, alcohol can upset your stomach and interfere with your perceptions at the same time. In other words, it’s probably only going to make things worse.
  
• Throw Up When You Feel Like It
  If you feel the urge to throw up, don’t try to fight it. Talk to a crew member or captain for guidance on the best location to do so; when you’re done, you’ll almost certainly feel better.
  
• Distract Yourself
  You can also mitigate feelings of nausea by distracting yourself. Even simple exercises, like counting, can help take your mind off the seasickness.
  
• Engage with The Sea and The Environment
  The more time you spend at sea, the more your body and mind will acclimate to the environment. Your seasickness may never fully go away, but it will definitely become more manageable.
