A short-trip trial

Before a short, motion-provoking trip, an intended user places Sea-Band’s knob against the inside of the wrist.

Pressure at P6

Sea-Band is a knitted elastic wristband with a sewn-in plastic knob designed to press the P6, or Nei-Kuan, acupressure point. The seller claims this relieves nausea, including motion sickness, and describes the band as reusable, drug-free, and non-drowsy; individual results are not guaranteed.

It is best viewed as a reusable option to trial on a shorter journey before depending on it for longer travel.
