Sea-Band : a clinically tested natural treatment of Nausea
Sea-Band is a knitted elasticised wristband, that applies continuos pressure on the Pericardium 6 (P6 or Nei-Kuan) point on each wrist, using a plastic stud. Constant pressure on the P6 point is known to prevent or relieve feelings of nausea, whether caused by travelling, pregnancy or other conditions.
Travel Sickness | Travel Sickness
Any form of transport can cause nausea, dizziness and vomiting. Our sense of equilibrium lies in the ear and works hand in hand with eyesight. When messages to these organs don’t agree and the brain is confused by the extent the body is actually moving, the resulting symptom is one of nausea. | 
Morning Sickness | Morning Sickness
Morning sickness (nausea and vomiting) is a problem for about 85% of pregnant women during the first four months or so of pregnancy. | 
Post Operative
Nausea | Post-operative Nausea
Despite improvements in anaesthetic techniques, up to 80% of patients still suffer nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours after an operation.
Anti-sickness drugs can be only partially effective in preventing or treating nausea and may have unpleasant side effects.
Researchers at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin, found that timing was important; acupressure worked best if the wrist bands were applied at the same time as anaesthesia was given and removed 20 minutes later, before the patient regained consciousness. |

East meets West
Western medicine has made truly remarkable advances in the past 200 years. However, as many common ailments remain incurable, increasingly scientists are looking at traditional Eastern treatments to complement Western science.
Although Western medics may balk at Traditional Chinese Medicine’s theory, evolved over 4000 years, that ill health results from an imbalance in the flow of ‘life energy’, they find that ancient techniques to restore this flow – such as acupuncture and acupressure – can be surprisingly effective.
From the patient’s point of view, acupressure has the enormous advantage of being easily learned and applied. No needles or practitioners are required, and for nausea it can be very successful.
The Pericardium 6 story
Four thousand years ago Chinese doctors knew that stimulating a certain point near the wrist could relieve nausea.
Over the last 20 years a number of randomised clinical trials carried out by Western scientists have demonstrated the same phenomenon.
Stimulation of the acupoint known as Pericardium 6 (P6) or Nei-guan (“inner gate”) can relieve and even eliminate nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy; after a general anaesthetic; and for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy where anti-nausea drugs are not sufficient.
Nausea, or feeling ill, queasy and wanting to vomit, is not
necessarily caused by a problem in the stomach.
