Lately when I was out on a boat with my boyfriend he told me sea sickness is just in a persons head and positive thinking can cure it? What really is the best cure for sea sickness?

It is a true sickness. Your eye sees one thing and your mind registers another. You cannot positive think yourself out of it. Try Dramamine. they have a non drowsy formula that works pretty well.

Seasickness is a form of motion sickness characterized by a feeling of nausea and, in extreme cases, vertigo experienced after spending time on a craft on water. It is typically brought on by the rocking motion of the craft, but people who are particularly vulnerable to the condition can feel seasick simply by setting foot on a boat, even if the vessel is in dry dock.
Seasickness can be a debilitating condition and it is extremely dangerous if the sufferer has an important role to carry out, such as steering a yacht through stormy seas while avoiding rocks and other hazards. It is also particularly hazardous for scuba divers who, through dehydration following vomiting, are at increased risk of decompression illness.

Sea sickness, or any motion sickness in general, has not been proven to be psychosomatic (or, made up in the person's head). Check out this website for more information:

I take Less-Drowsy Dramamine before going on long trips in a vehicle and before going to the amusement park. I also get sea sickness but I have not had a chance to see if it works for that.
There are a vareity of anti-motion sickness medications out there. If you search Yahoo or Google for sea sickness medicine, a lot of things come up.

Sea sickness come up when the vestibular-is organs in your ears are taking in too much information than they are use to do and the brain is overwhelmed with information about your position on earth. I am living by the sea and got use to it by sailing very much.
Keep your eyes on the horizon then the information from your ears _ the Vestibular organ and the sight correspond with each other and less sea sicknes.

It's an imbalance in your inner ear. Your inner is kind of like your compass. It tells your brain which way is up or down. If you aren't on solid ground it has trouble with directions and sends signals that upset your stomach. There's no real cure but you can take Dramamine to stop the sick feeling.

No, sea sickness is not strictly in the mind. Motion sickness happens when the vehicle you are in, be it a car, boat, or plane, can be caused by an equibrium problem. I think most people use Dramamine for it before they embark.

If you need tho change your daily life then this really is your manual https://tr.im/FutE3 , Manifestation Miracle.
With Manifestacion Miracle you can understand regulations of attraction. The Manifestation Miracle does a great work of teaching you just how strongly you'll need to desire anything to be able to do what' needed in order to get it. Think of need exactly the same way you would think of a candle. If the candle is using strong then you'll drive previous obstacles in order to get everything you want. If the candle is not using at all, then you won't. Wish is a using fireplace. Not only have you got to have it, but also you have to help keep tossing timber on it to help keep it burning.
That manual can be as easy because it gets and with it you'll manage to begin believing in what' probable very fast.

The fluid in the inner ear gets shaken up. This screws with your equilibrium and causes vertigo and nausea. So no, it's strictly a physical reaction. Those that don't get it are less prone to react or are acclimated to the movement.
"Positive thinking" probably won't help much. Even the most experienced water men can get seasick occasionally. Your hubby will be eating his words when it happens to him.
