@fryrsquared: I would also like to hear from anyone that has also heard of this remedy. If only to satisfy that tiny niggling feeling that my 'good authority' maybe just wanted me to sniff their head....

only works if it is straight hair, as there are no waves.

Ex seaman here and the best remedy for sea sickness is orange juice. It tastes the same coming back up.

Does the scalp have to be still attached to the other person?

Smelling on a scalp stimulates the vagus nerve in a special way. And the vagus nerve is responsible for motion perception.

It’s because the adrenaline of “hey buddy do you want to fight??” resolves the seasickness.

My first thought was the instinctual smelling of babies heads and the calming effect that it has on the body

This may be the same effect of lifting ones leg at the dentist to avoid the gag reflex. The dentist was creating a mold up my upper teeth, the goo they use dripped out a bit before hardening and was hanging in my throat. I started to gag real hard, and he yelled "LIFT YOUR RIGHT LEG!". Worked like a charm.

I’m a nurse, we give patients who are nauseous after surgery an alcohol swab to sniff. It works, and my theory is it distracts your brain enough to pause the nausea.

This is called sense switching. Cause your cortex to concentrate on a smell is enough to trick your brain into thinking of something else

Perhaps it’s like putting soap in a bed when kids have growing pains. It’s the smell that somehow distracts the nervous system. Only soaps that smell work and the smell needs to get renewed.

the correct answer is takes your mind off it and placebo effect

Interesting. I know that infants emit a scent (hormones) from their scalp that encourages an adult to bond. Maybe related to this?
