Abstract

Motion sickness is one of the most commonly seen discomforts among people that has spread across all age groups and has been affecting people since centuries. It is a phenomenon of sensory conflict between the visual, vestibular and motor system. Visually Induced motion sickness is a sub-type of motion sickness, where the brain interprets sensory messages regarding movement of eyes with respect to the body as inharmonious. Any deviation from the healthy state seen after the exposure to the virtual environment is considered as the symptom of Visually Induced Motion sickness. Nausea is the most disturbing symptom seen in this condition. Along with cold sweating, drowsiness, retching, or vomiting, dizziness or vertigo etc. This phenomenon can be homoeopathically explained as per the classification of diseases by Samuel Hahnemann in different levels. This review summarizes theories behind the causation of visually induced motion sickness, the Homoeopathic basis of its cause and the treatment protocol behind it including a few remedies and Rubrics that may help in clinical practice for the selection of the similimum. Keywords: Visually Induced motion sickness, Homoeopathy, Virtual reality, Cyber-sickness, Simulator sickness
