Seasickness is caused by conflicting signals in your brain caused by the difference in what you see with your eyes, and the movement felt by your inner ears. This very simple technique encourages your brain to ignore the information being sent to it by your inner ears, and as a result you don't feel seasick!

I've never seen someone take the time to actually show how to share a video. Got a like from me
Cheers Hassan 👍
Thank you! A real life saver for us when crossing the North Sea just now 😅
Tack så mycket! Very happy this helped. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
i just came back here to tell you thank you!
I was fishing for more then 3 hours i just used a earphone just one side, just felt Good!
also drinking pepsi or cocacola will make you feel much better when u burp Thanks!
went on a 3/4 day fishing trip out of dana point. haven't been on a boat this size (65x20) in over 15 years. had never been out on a boat at sea without getting sick except for a giant cruise ship. It wasn't very rough out, pretty calm day, however, I tried this earplug trick, plus not drinking coffee and to my surprise and delight I didn't get sick at all!!! I really think it helped. Didn't want to do the patch because of the side effects. Glad I found this and tried it.
Glad to hear that, thanks for the feedback. 🌅 Cheers, Chris
Lots of positive comments from people who planned to try it. Couldn't find a user review. Purely from a Data aspect of course. Now me. I really need this to work. xxx
Have to know -- did it?
I want to add this bc I found something that works for me and hopefully it works for anyone out there. I’m very prone to getting sea sick I have thrown up almost every time I’ve been on a boat besides the past 3 times. Idk why this works but if you take Dramamine less drowsy 2 hours before your trip and then take a Dramamine nausea medicine pill right as you’re getting on the boat it makes it to where I can ride any boat and I am never sick after that. Just make sure you eat before taking medicine. Also it gets rid of anxiety for some reason idky but it calms you down a lot and you don’t have a worry in the world. Ik this works for me but hopefully it works for everyone out there that easily gets sea sick like me.
Thanks for sharing! Will definitely try this! 🤗🤞
Our pleasure, let us know how you get on! 👍
I get horrible motion sickness and for years have been using chewy ginger candies as well as chunks of candied ginger from the market. More recently the herb craze has made ginger capsules available. When I leave for the boat I down two caps with 16oz water. I bring ginger beer (no alcohol) answer sip on that if things get funny. I also bring th various ginger remedies with me. It's what has enabled me to go out in weather much worse than I ever should have been in!
Hi Mike, thank you for watching and commenting. We've hear quite a few people recommending Ginger so that sounds like a great tip. Thanks for sharing! Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
The Most Brilliant Explanation And Solution To Sea Sickness
Thank you very much Paul. 😊 Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
Ciao Chris, just thousands of thanks for this cork-trick that saved my sister from taking medicine ...and i guess it will be useful for many people! Thank you again ...Buon Vento ;-)
Prego Stefano! Thank you for your feedback. 😊 Buon vento, Chris 👍
Logical, cheap and no medicine required. Great tip that I will definitely give a try!
Good luck and let us know how you get on... Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
My wife suffers from severe seasickness and a viewer posted the link to this video in the comments. This is such a simple trick! We will be sure to try it out next time we encounter heavy seas as we cruise the Atlantic.
Thanks!
5 years on, I wanna know if this works :)
I want to know as well
Me Too - I have been checking this video every day for over 5 years now. There's been plenty of wild seas in the Atlantic recently so hopefully we'll get an answer soon.🙏
Yes it works 😊
Glad to hear it! Cheers Nicholas, Chris
was out in the solent sailing recently with an ear infection, in one ear. had the same effect as your ear plug trick. was able to read the newspaper without feeling queezey. usually when I go ashore to the toilet or shower cubicle everything is swaying about up to 48hrs after, no such problems with an ear infection. not suggesting you start poking things in your ears or swimming too deep in dirty water, but if you haven't packed your ear plugs it's another option. usually use Biodramina tablets though, may need prescription.
Great tip guys, thanks!
I absolutely love sea fishing, unfortunately due to suffering so badly from sea sickness, I won't go deep sea boat fishing.
I have tried it twice, and the last time I was sick 6 hours out of the 8 at sea!!
Talk about an expensive way to get sick, I could have achieved the same thing for half the price down the pub! Lol.😆
I have also been told that anything that contains ginger also works fantastically well! 👍😊
How has this worked out for you?
Excellent tip Chris, thank you 👌🏼
My pleasure! Fair winds, Chris (& Rossella) 👍
Hey Chris I recently watched a video and the gent said "if you are right handed then put the ear plug in your left ear and vice versa for the best result" what's your thoughts on that theory?
ruclips.net/video/md5n7y-o1Aw/видео.html
Hi there, I have never personally seen a difference with people putting the earplug in one ear vs the other but if other people have done more experimenting it would be interesting to hear how they get on in the comments section of this video. Cheers and fair winds, Chris 👍
Will give this a try as well. We keep motion relief bands on board for those in need. They will even stop a bout of illness after it's started. It's weird to get used to the slight electrical impluse but since it works those in need welcome the sensation.
Hi Melinda, thank you for watching and for sharing your tip too. We hope you find this earplug trick useful in the future. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & baby Emma 😊
How wonderful! The babe is here. Take care of your ladies and enjoy this special time. Look forward to the introduction of babies aboard.
A friend of ours uses the band. Works for her.
As others may have commented, your cochlea is where your body converts sound to nerve impulses to the brain. Balance and movement is sensed by the semi-circular canals, not the cochlea. Otherwise, fascinating way to prevent seasickness. I'll keep it in mind.
Hi Mike, you are correct that it is indeed the semi-circular canals and otoliths which send impulses to the brain regarding orientation. I should have continued to use the term 'inner ear' so that the video would have been 100% correct. In my defence though, having a single earplug inserted does not have any effect whatsoever on the signals produced by the semi-circular canals or otoliths - it only has an effect on the impulses being sent to the brain by the cochlea (the sound in that ear is muffled compared to the other ear). The brain presumes a damaged inner ear 'assembly' 😂 and ignores all signals being sent from the inner ear. The main point though is that this trick can help people feel seasick! Thank you for watching and commenting. Fair winds! Chris (& Rossella) 👍
maybe it works by increasing pressure on the middle ear generally and that pressure restricts fluid movement in the semi-circular canals?
Your channel is very good! Useful and pleasant to watch. I will be sharing with my friends.
Hi Milton, thank you very much indeed, we love it when viewers share our videos! We have lots more videos coming so we hope you enjoy them too. Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
Great advice thanks am definitely going to try that. I love sailing but sometimes I do get terrible sea sickness.
This is a very useful technique Ross - try it and let us know how you get on. Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
Other non-prescription sea-sickness treatments: take a turn at the helm, watch the horizon, ginger root, Bonine pill, Sea Band, and/or Dramamine. Sail on!
Great tips John, thank you. Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
eat ginger if you have nausea
Very interesting. Another effective measure is to watch the horizon.
👍
I had heard that, too, but I never found it to be effective for long.
Wow, thats brilliant! Ive been looking at tricks etc for the gf to make sailing more... Pleasurable so perhaps someday the live-aboard idea wont be too bad. Lol cause id hate to have to live-aboard without her... But im sure id get used to it. Lol
This is definitely good tip but Oh I wish! Sailed for over 10 years and lived aboard for 6 and tried everything including a version of this - somewhere recommended similar using headphones in one or both ears listening to music/audio. The science seems sound and I know for some it works but for me I am doomed to be green. Hey I get carsick even when I am the DRIVER on windy roads 🤢
Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting. Sorry to hear that you suffer so badly from motion sickness. It might be worth another try wiith one earplug put really deeply inside your ear so your brain thinks there's a problem with your inner ear. If it does work you might even be able to use it on your car journeys! If it doesn't work then you've lost nothing... Fair winds, Chris & Rossella
Brilliant! Never heard of this before. Thanks.
I am going to try it. Thanks
Wow what great advice i need to test it soon.
Wow, can't wait to try it tomorrow on my wife who suffers from this affliction. We take all sorts of ginger concoctions which seems to help a bit if started early. Thanks again.
+Victor Raymond Our pleasure Victor - let us know how your wife gets on tomorrow. Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
Sailing Britaly worked great for me but not so well with my wife. On the other hand it was pretty snarky out there, 2m in 6 secs with occasional 3 meters in there just for fun, ugh.
Hi Victor, we're glad it was hepful for you. One thing to check is that your wife had the earplug in really deep into her ear - Rossella had a tendency to put them just into the outermost part of the ear but that didn't work, the earplug has to be rolled between your fingers so it becomes very thin and then pushed right inside the ear canal. After what I have read on the comments here, it may also be worth trying the earplug in the other ear. The seas you were certainly a good testing ground anyway! Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
@@SailingBritaly Its esier to get it further in when you use your opposing hand to lift your ear, as it pulls it up the way because your arm is over your head. Peace.
I have used this system loads of times and I also give the person 4 gigger bics and it has always worke even with a person that was really sick
What are gigger bics?
@@mathewbolt3350 He probably thought of ginger
thanks. Will try it
Definitely going to get me lady to try this, she has tried the usual seasickness tablets, extra strong mints & ginger, with varying success
Let us know if it works Paul!
Great piece of info. Fabulous
It really helps Gus - spread the word! Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
Will definetly try this in couple months when i am back in Norway. We had some rough sea with 3-4m waves at the last trip and i got seasick even though i took pills.
Let us know how you get on! 👍
Ok I'm moving a sailboat from Great Abaco to Charleston SC in 2 weeks I will try it out & report back. Thanks for the tip
Good luck with the trip. My best mate lives in Charleston: small world. Cheers, Chris 👍
Let me start this follow-up report by saying that I am very ambidextrous. I write right-handed, I eat right handed, I play most all sports left-handed. Anything for power I do left-handed, anything for finesse I do right handed. With that being said I put an ear plug in my left ear and we sailed from great Abaco to Charleston and did very well, the Seas were relatively good. The largest Seas we saw were probably some seven to ten Footers. I did have a bout of sickness lasted Maybe two to three hours and passed. After reading all the comments I wonder now if I should have placed the ear plug in my right ear for the elimination of the nausea completely. It definitely requires more research on my part. Later this year I'm sailing from Grenada to St Lucia I'm not sure that sailing grounds will really put to the earplug idea to the test. I think not, so at this point I'm on the fence I cannot really say that it worked for me. we were at Sea just under two and a half days.
at this point I have to say my results are inconclusive
on the positive side of this test I was able to sleep below deck in my cabin and rest much better than my previous trip to Bermuda
How about any other such sickness...
I'm sure it's the same reason it causes it and thank you subscribed love you!!!
Thanks for this tip and is there a form of severe seasickness that you can help with? I wasn't aware I had this problem unfortunately until it was to late. -_- Anyway 2 others on the boat were seasick. One laid down and took a rest the other ate a little something. I was shocked with both of them because there was no doing either of these things with me. I constantly threw up until there was only stomach bile left. After throwing that up I dry heaved the rest of the time(6 hours maybe). People kept trying to get me to eat saltines and ginger ale but were not understanding the fact that my stomach kept contracting and it wasn't possible. I think my seasickness goes beyond others and they don't seem to understand this. Any advice will be greatly appreciated guys! D:
I have this exact issue. Just recently came back from a fishing trip. I had a prescription patch, sea bands, and took Dramamine and still got sick. It's so frustrating and I don't know what else I can do.
Sounds reasonable :) Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure! Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
Interesting!🤔
I will try it next time. Thanks
Let us know how it goes! 👍
I will give it a try for sure. I always get severe motion sickness on the boat!
Let us know how it goes once you have tried it! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma :-)
Cool Bruv. Doing a Great job man, and Ma'am. Keep up the good work and don't let the spiteful worry you.
Thank you for your comment. We are very happy to do what we do and more than 99% of people are really positive with our channel, so we are very lucky. Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
Does this work if you wait to put the ear plug in your ear until after you start getting sea sick or does it have to be in your ear from the beginning?
I’ll definitely try this!! I can’t seem to fix my problem with sea sickness. Taken Dramamine ect but still get sick. The patch behind the ear sent me into a dizzy state. Was gonna try anti Nausea medicine prescription or the wrist band. But I’ll try this first. So frustrated planning a whole fishing day on my boat then coming in after a couple hours because I’m sick. I’m a grown outdoorsman and I’m the only puking on the boat. I have to choose the right day to go out and fish certain areas that are calmer.
Hi Mike, those patches can affect people very badly and sometimes the effects of those are almost as bad as seasickness itself (I've seen it offshore) Good luck with this and report back to tell us how you get on with this, Fair winds, Chris 👍
@mike Clifford did this work for you ?
Obrigado de coração amigo e rainha
Fascinating!!!
👍
Mahi trip got me but stuck it out for my fish! Lol key west florida is my paradise m8.
I will try!
Grazie
Prego! 😊 Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
I dont get sick on the boat trip but when i get back to the dock it hits me wearing headphones or earlplugs help alot the next couple of days
It works great for me
Great video also if you eat a plain bagel toasted well done helps a lot. Cheers.😀
Hi George, we are very glad this works for you 😊 Thanks for the bagel tip. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & baby Emma 👍
Can't wait to try this👍
Good luck Wayne - let us know how you get on! Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
Thank you 🙏
Our pleasure Anthony!
awesome tip
Thank you Anthony. Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
Awsome
Lots of people trying this, anyone tried it yet?
Thank you, and then some :)
Also drink ginger ale.
Hi Allen, we've heard that ginger can help too. Ginger ale, ginger tea etc. Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
Sailing Britaly : I’ve heard that as well but not sure if it’s true
Perhaps you mean the vestibulars, which are in the inner ears, providing the majority of brain input for balance. The cochlear has an auditory function.
Oh My God!!
I hope this is the answer of my damned badly seasickness😲😲
I wish I'd known this before, still feel ill after kayaking in sea today, diffinantly trying this, ta
let us know if it worked for you ✌️
Let us know how you get on! 👍
I told someone to do exactly this but I was joking. I just thought of the most ludicrous thing I could to cheer her up.and get a laugh. We didn't have any ear plugs so sorry can't give you feedback.
But Chris how spooky is that?
I've a box of use once swimming one I'll take pack in my oilies for the future.
That is waaaayyy too simple a remedy! I can't believe it would work.... so I'm going to give it a go. If it works I'll owe you one.
It really does work! Tell us how you get on when you've tried it. Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
I wonder would this work on car sickness?
Thanks chuck rose of lealea lives with a bucket by him I'll post this to the album vega group🍀anything for a hangover!!
Thank you Sean, if each our subscribers shared one of our videos our channel would see enormous growth! Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
If this is true, shouldn't simply closing your eyes work?
An eyepatch would be easier.
The Florida solution is to smoke a joint. No more nausea. The earplugs are cheaper though. :)
Isn't it dangerous to smoke earplugs? 😂
great tip. I will try it next time! All the best to you and the baby :-)
Sabine
Thank you Sabine! :-) Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
Does this help you not to get land sickness?
Sea sickness and land motion sickness are one in the same so it should.
I keep watching wave ahead of boat and it gives signal to my brain what motion to expect. it's tiring but it works.
👍
Bloody wish I seen this video yesterday’ before heading out to sea, but I had ready prepared burley spewing out over the boat lmfao
One earplug..... interesting. I was all ready to call BS until you said just use one. I was in the Navy for 6 years in the engineering spaces so we all wore plugs all the time and some guys always got sick. It is a trick I will remember to try.
Let us know how it goes! 👍
@@SailingBritaly you will waiting a while to hear from me on that. I have never been seasick a day in my life. 😆
@@PuntBamaPunt1972 hi Eiver so you mean the ear plugs were useful and you were not seasickness?
I’ve always used Dramamine the first few days of voyage. What’s your feeling on pills?
Absolutely fool proof way to stop sea sickness is to sit under a tree. It's worked for me EVERY time! x
What?
Explain pls loll
Wow does this really work? I am working as a musician on a big boat and I have been having problems with being sick 😞
Hi there, yes it works for many people. Try it and let us know how you get on. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
My wife does get seasick a lot, what’s been helping her is headphones and a full belly.
Cheers
Thank you for sharing
Hi Buch, thank you for commenting - we hope this is another technique that can help your wife avoid feeling seasick. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & baby Emma 😊
@@SailingBritaly I will give your recommendation a try. I can confirm that listening to music through earphones works. The output from your ears (VIIIth Cranial Nerve) carries both sound and balance information. The output is self regulated, so if sound up then both outputs down.
hello
i put in one ear or 2 ? and why
thanks sir
Did you watch the video? Tldr put it in one ear.
Should I ware an eye patch too ;-)
😂
Dos it work in fishing trips?
Is this effective on merchant cargo vessel, especially during our navigational watch?
Hi Morgan, I would say yes - please let us know how you get on when you’ve tried it! Cheers, Chris 👍
@@SailingBritaly i will try to find an earplug, to try during rough seas,.
Thanks for the excellent tip Chris. Will it work the same if I have 1 earphone in my ear listening to music from my device?
Hi there, that is an interesting question that I don't know the answer to. Give it a try and let us know if it helps! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
I don't think so because you need an air tight seal
Would this perhaps mean that people who are deaf would not suffer from seasickness?
Hi there, I'm no expert, but don't think that would be the case: seasickness is caused by the signals being sent by the inner (the vestibular system) to the brain, not matching with the information being sent by the eyes. This trick works because the brain senses that there is something wrong with one of the ears and so is more inclined to ignore signals being sent to it by the inner ear in question. If a deaf person inserts an earplug into one ear then I don't think the brain would have reason to change any of its calculations. You do pose an interesting question though... Do blind people get seasick?... Fair winds, Chris (& Rossella) 👍
ciao!
I hope this works as i was seasick for 8h during a passage....I wanted to jump over lol
Apparently, right handed people should put the ear plug in their left ear for better results and left handed folk put it in their right ear, said to work better that way. I guess if you are ambidextrous it doesn't matter.
I heard if youre right handed, ear plug your left ear...and vise versa
The side does not matter according to user reviews 👍
What if i only hear with one ear ?
I will try this but I suffer so badly I vomit incessantly and unless I take tablets I cannot dive.
Why do some people NOT get seasick?
👍
Does this work in cars too?
We believe it would, but have no experience of it. Try it and let us know!
Now that is a great tips.. !!! I was thinking to get a bootle of 500 pills for sea sick..well actually 2 bottles.. :) now just earplugs will do the job!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT !!!! it is so good when a small piece of information can make your day.. OMG!!!! I can´t stop laughing (pure satisfaction ) Good Day!!!!!!!!!
Our pleasure! Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊👍
Ginger! Always have real ginger on board. Earplug in ear is prevention. Garlic is the cure.
If only somebody would invent ginger and garlic scented earplugs!... 😂 Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
Shall we eat the ginger or boil or just smell?
Go on the helm when you get that first hint of greenness coming upon you
Definitely will try. Another trick is drinking beer.
That sounds like a nice excuse for a sundowner! Fair winds! Chris & Rossella 👍
If you do happen to get seasick, ginger candy or pickled ginger really helps with the nausea.
+Vaughn Herren Hi there, thanks for the comment. We have heard of ginger tea being helpful (also for nausea during pregnancy) so your suggestions make sense. Fair winds, Chris & Rossella 👍
Gatinha e amigo? Teus vídeos são ótimo e excelente de assite gosti

Guaranteed cure for sea sickness - Smith&Wesson
Bubble gum in one ear works as well .
That could help get someone out of a sticky situation...
nausea,,,,, trick is to eat ginger!!
👍
Bother, it won't work for me, I'm totally deaf in my right ear.
Not worked brooo .. today was my last day
the best way to prevent seasickness is to sail and in case you need to puke do so ... do this a few times and you wont have it anymore
Not true. I've sailed plenty in rough seas and still get seasick. It's true that the threshold at which you become seasick will go up, but if the sea's big enough and you're prone to it, you'll get it. I'd like to try this suggestion.
nathan de crom : sailed with a girl who was sick 17 days of an 18 day passage.
chewing gum also helps
Thanks for the tip George. 👍
