Easing Motion Sickness: The Power of Patches

For some travelers, motion sickness is an unavoidable companion on trips. A popular belief suggests that sticking a patch or plaster containing medication on the inner wrist can ward it off. But does science back this up?

Dr. Ray Rattu, SpPD from Mayapada Hospital Jakarta Selatan, confirms that there’s some truth to this practice. “Placing a patch does indeed provide a sensation on your skin, which can help distract from feelings of nausea,” he says.

Many commercially available patches offer a warm or tingly sensation, providing not just a distraction, but also a comforting feeling on your abdomen. Moreover, some patches contain active ingredients that provide additional relief.

“Some patches contain anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ingredients like Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) or other antihistamines,” Dr. Ray explains, likening the action of these patches to topical gels used for treating injuries.

So, should you always place these patches on your inner wrist, as widely believed? While there’s no strict rule, Dr. Ray suggests, “Stick them where you feel most comfortable and where you think it would provide the best relief.”

Remember, everyone’s body responds differently to treatments, so it’s essential to find what works best for you. Now, go forth and embrace your travels, armed with the knowledge of how these patches can help combat motion sickness.

Title: Nurturing Cognitive Growth: A Working Mom’s Strategies and the Role of Iron Supplements

Article:

Jakarta – Cognitive development plays a pivotal role in children’s growth and has lasting impacts, particularly on intelligence. Consequently, it’s a priority that should be high on every parent’s list. Vega Karina Andira Putri, a working mom and influencer known as ‘Veve’, shares her strategies to boost her children’s cognitive development.

Quality Time: A Crucial Factor

Veve emphasizes the importance of quality time spent with children, asserting that it’s crucial for their growth and development. Despite her busy schedule, she ensures she reserves quality time for her children. "Quality time is the most important thing for me. It affects their growth, development, and the genuine love and support we provide," Veve said at the Mom’s Health Corner event in South Jakarta on Thursday, December 19, 2024.

In her daily life, Veve engages her children in physical activities, believing it fosters not only cognitive but also physical development. She suggests involving children in age-appropriate activities that encourage thinking. For instance, her children enjoy playing with LEGO, which stimulates their cognitive skills. For younger children, simple color-sorting activities can be beneficial.

The Role of Iron Supplements

Veve also pays close attention to her children’s nutritional intake and iron supplements. She believes iron supplements play a significant role in boosting children’s cognitive development. Given her personal history of anemia, she ensures her children take iron supplements daily, under medical supervision.

" Iron is crucial for a child’s cognitive development and has long-term effects on their growth. It’s better to prevent deficiency than treat it later," Veve warns, highlighting the potential impacts of iron deficiency on learning and memory.

Why Iron Matters

Dr. Wisvici Yosua Samin, Msc, SpA, a pediatric specialist, explains that iron is essential for children’s growth and mental development. It aids learning, concentration, and brain functioning. Iron deficiency can lead to impaired cognitive development, poor academic performance, and delayed motor skills.

Dr. Wisvici notes that iron deficiency is still highly prevalent among children, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Picky eating habits and the ‘no-food-waste’ movement further increase the risk of iron deficiency. He recommends consulting a healthcare provider before giving children iron supplements, as the dosage varies depending on the child’s individual needs.

"Each child is unique," Dr. Wisvici advises, "So, we can’t say that everyone needs the same amount of iron. It’s different for each child."

Jakarta: Harvey Moeis’ Defense in Timah Corruption Case Lacks Substance, Claims Prosecutor

In a dramatic turn at the Jakarta Corruption Court, prosecutors struck back against the defense presented by Harvey Moeis, the main defendant in the Timah commodities corruption case. Prosecutor Silvi criticized Harvey’s plea, deeming it lacking in substance and filled with sensationalism.

Starting off, Silvi dismissed Harvey’s suggestion that he was being framed and used as a scapegoat. "The defense’s claim that the defendant and his family have been framed and are merely a pawn in this case is incorrect and baseless," Silvi stated.

Silvi lamented the lack of substance in Harvey’s defense, which he said was laden with sensationalism and illusions. "It’s unfortunate that the defendant’s plea lacks substance but is full of sensationalism and the defendant’s illusions," Silvi commented.

From the start of the trial, Silvi observed that Harvey did not show any remorse. Instead, Silvi alleged, Harvey positioned himself as a victim. "From the start to the end of the trial, there has not been any apology from the defendant for being involved in and part of the corruption crime in this case. Instead, the defendant always positions himself as a victim," Silvi explained.

Going further, Silvi argued that Harvey’s claims of philanthropy and heroism were unsupported by evidence. Harvey had claimed to donate Rp 15 billion for ICU ward construction in a public hospital, assist with a cash-strapped pregnant woman’s delivery costs, and distribute COVID equipment to the public. However, Silvi noted that none of these claims were backed by evidence.

The prosecutor concluded, "Thus, it seems that the defendant portrays himself as a hero and philanthropist, but sadly, his claims lack evidence."
