Nausea and sickness can ruin any moment and fun, whether it’s a walk, a stage of pregnancy, or even during a trip. Some people are more sensitive, suffer a lot with this annoying symptom, and sometimes even avoid certain activities because of the discomfort. But how can you get rid of nausea without turning to medication all the time?

The Story of the Discovery of Nausea Relief

During a cruise in 1982 on the Atlantic, all the passengers suffered from dizziness and nausea due to a major storm. One of the crew members was Dr. Choy, who tested his acupressure knowledge, also known as acupuncture points, in search of a solution. Knowing the effectiveness of these points in Eastern medicine, where people use objects like forks or spoons to apply pressure on the area, Dr. Choy thought of the P6 point (Nei Kuan). It is located on the inside of the wrist and can be found by placing your index, middle, and ring fingers over the wrist, with the point being directly under the tip of the index finger between the tendons. When Dr. Choy tested the P6 point, the symptoms of nausea and sickness stopped immediately. However, when pressure on the point was released, the symptoms returned. From this small experiment, the doctor saw a need for a more permanent solution to this common problem. That was when the idea for the anti-nausea wristband was born.

What is the Anti-Nausea Wristband?

A wristband to relieve nausea during pregnancy or travel features an ergonomically designed button embedded in high-quality, durable, and latex-free flexible fabric, targeting continuous pressure on the P6 point on the wrist. It is usually washable and does not bother the user’s arm while it relieves discomfort. The wristband is easily adjusted to the circumference of the wrist because it is completely elastic and, therefore, can be used by children and adults of any age. Its effect is proven, immediate, low-cost, and has no contraindications. The anti-nausea wristband works for everyone, but it has proven especially effective for pregnant women in their first trimester of pregnancy, who often suffer from nausea all day long. Thanks to the benefits of this accessory, they can ‘relieve’ their symptoms and even enjoy a fun day at an amusement park.

Sea Band – The Nausea Relief Wristband in Brazil

Until recently, many Brazilian women wondered how to relieve nausea during pregnancy, finding themselves in a difficult situation without an acupressure wristband available. Thanks to the brand Babydeas, this is a thing of the past because Sea Band is now available. The imported wristband was the first to have its effectiveness recognized by Anvisa in Brazil and is sold in thousands of online stores and pharmacies. The investment of about 50 reais per pair is well worth the relief from pain it provides during pregnancy or travel.

How and When to Use the Wristband?

The anti-nausea wristband can be used as a means of prevention or control for nausea and sickness, either continuously or as needed when the symptoms occur, for example at the beginning of pregnancy. To achieve the desired effect, you need to wear a wristband on each wrist, simultaneously. In about 5 to 10 minutes the symptoms of nausea and dizziness will start to disappear. As long as the wristbands are on your wrists, the symptoms will not return.

Nausea without Pregnancy

Since there are no contraindications, it can be used not only by pregnant women to control these uncomfortable symptoms, but also by children, teenagers, adults, and seniors of all ages who suffer from nausea unrelated to pregnancy. The anti-nausea wristband is also recommended for patients undergoing chemotherapy or even for recovery after anesthesia. Other situations where it can be used include boat, ship, and airplane travel, deep-sea fishing, or even simple car trips that can cause great discomfort for many people. Instead of medication, which may control the symptom but can cause severe drowsiness, the discomfort can be relieved more quickly and without having to ingest any substances.
