How does it work?
How does it work?
It works by applying continuous pressure onto the acupressure point known as the "Nei-Kuan" or P6 point on each inner wrist.
Stimulating this point can interrupt nausea signals being sent to the brain (via nerve pathways), thereby reducing the sensation of nausea and associated vomiting.
It has been clinically tested for various causes of nausea: motion/sea sickness, travel sickness, morning sickness during pregnancy, post-operative and chemotherapy-related nausea.

What are the benefits of using this?
Drug-free: No medications, which means fewer systemic side-effects (e.g., sedation, drowsiness) compared to many anti-nausea drugs.
Suitable for a broad set of nausea-causing situations: Travel/motion, sea sickness, morning sickness in pregnancy, post-op nausea, chemotherapy induced nausea.
Minimal discomfort/low risk: Because it’s non-invasive, it’s safer as a complementary option for those who may avoid medications (e.g., during pregnancy).
Convenient for travel/active use: Discreet and easy to wear on a daily basis.

How to use?
Here is the step-by-step for optimal usage:
- Place your middle three fingers of one hand on the inside of your opposite wrist so that the edge of your third finger (i.e., ring finger) rests on the wrist-crease.
- Under your index finger, between the two central tendons, lies the P6 (Nei-Kuan) acupressure point. Position the plastic stud/button of the Sea-Band so it presses downward on this point.
- Repeat on the other wrist — both wrists must be worn for full effect.
- It’s better to put the bands on before you anticipate the onset of nausea (e.g., before travel starts) for improved effect.
- The bands are washable by hand using mild soap/detergent. They can be worn for extended periods (unless discomfort/swelling around hands occurs) and reused.
