I've told you lots about Sea-Bands in the past, in my original review here where I told you how well they work for travel sickness and morning sickness, then here where I added that they were good for migraine nausea too. On our recent Christmas shopping trip with P&O ferries, which I told you about here, you may remember that 2-year-old Pierre had an unfortunate episode of seasickness in the duty-free shop ! The staff all mentioned that if we hadn't been about to arrive in port, they'd have recommended Sea-Bands to us because they're really effective and they all wear them when it's rough. You can't get higher praise than that ! Needless to say, the whole family are now kitted out and, I'm happy to say, nobody was sick on our latest trip across the Channel. Just make sure you look carefully at the drawing on the box to make sure the pressure ball is in the right place or they won't work at all.
Sea-Band advise : "How to wear Sea-Bands Place your middle fingers on the inside of your wrist with the edge of your third finger at the bottom of your hand, at the crease of your wrist. Underneath your middle finger, you will find the Nei Kuan pressure point, in between two wrist tendons. You will be able to feel it by pressing down in this spot. Place the Sea-Band on your wrist, with the plastic stud toward your skin on the Nei Kuan pressure point. Do the same with the other wrist band. Both Sea-Band wrist bands must be worn at the same time for them to be effective. You should begin to feel relief within five minutes. If nausea worsens, apply pressure with your finger to the plastic stud."
Both sizes (adult and child) of Sea-Bands cost £8.15 a pair. For more information, check out http://www.sea-band.com/ or like them on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/SeaBandNausea and twitter at @SeaBandNausea.
Thanks to the generosity of Sea-Bands, I have three prizes available of a pair of adult and a pair of child Sea-Bands.

ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try these Seabands for ages but never got round to buying them! As a result I spend all my car and bus journeys trying to simultaneously press the pressure points on both hands with the opposing fingers!

ReplyDeleteFYI: the instructions on this page for using the Sea Bands are wrong. The pressure point is located under your index finger, not the middle finger. Go to the Sea Band website for correct information and a diagram.
