人眼见到的运动如果与前庭系统感觉到的运动不相符,就会产生错觉和平衡失调,出现恶心、反胃、呕吐等症状,学名「晕动病」Motion Sickness。这种情况在坐车、飞机和乘船的时候经常出现,即晕车、晕机和晕船。美国市面上最常用的是晕车腕带,非处方药物则有茶苯海明(Dramamine)和美克洛嗪(Bonine),另有姜糖、薄荷糖等。
最受欢迎的是晕车腕带
美国有很多晕车药和晕船药,但 Amazon 上防治晕车和晕船最受欢迎的产品却是一款腕带:Sea Band,而且国内很多孕妇从美国海淘和代购,用于减轻恶心、呕吐等妊娠反应。Sea-Band 腕带有普通成人款、儿童版、女士版,其实主要差别是手腕大小外,另外女士版号称「无药物成分、适合孕期妇女」,价格也比较贵。

Sea-Band 是英国公司,是否华人创办我不知道,其产品线多围绕中医理论。防晕手环的原理就是挤压手臂的内关穴(见上图中间白点,需双手同时戴),按照使用说明对准穴位即可,无药物、无副作用、可以重复使用和清洗。Amazon 上一位用户评价说:
My husband and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon. About 1/2 an hour after the ship sailed, I became quite seasick. My husband went to the on-board store to get Dramamine or whatnot. They were all out. He brought back the only thing left: Sea Bands. I said "what is this ridiculous Voodoo, it'll never work, plus they don't even remotely match my outfit." We both laughed at them, but I was willing to try anything at that point, so on they went. About 20 minutes later, I was noticeably better, and about 40 minutes later, I was completely cured...
大意是说,「我和老公在邮轮上度蜜月,船上的晕船药没了,只剩下 Sea-Band,我一开始不屑一顾,以为这是无聊的巫术,何况尺寸也不适合我的手腕。我抱着死马当活马医的想法试试,没想到 20 分钟以后晕船的症状明显开始减轻,40 分钟以后完全消失了……」
防晕手环还有其他品牌,比较知名的如 Toulifly,价格也差不多。

常见的晕车药(还可减轻妊娠反应)
如果你不喜欢戴在手上,可以选择口服药,Google 搜索 "Motion Sickness Pills," "Travel Sickness Pills" 或者 "Kinetosis Treatment",这些都是防治晕车、晕机和晕船的药物,还可以用于减轻晨呕、因为消化不良引起的反胃,以及孕妇恶心、呕吐等妊娠反应,因此很多人海淘、代购。
美国常见的非处方晕车药有两类,我在《美国居家常备的 OTC 非处方药物》里也介绍过:① 茶苯海明 dimenhydrinate,品牌名 Dramamine,有原配方(服后可能嗜睡)、儿童配方、不瞌睡配方等。② 美克洛嗪 meclizine,常见品牌 Bonine。
