Travel-Eze

So my aunt sent me an email the other day telling me about this wrist bands that help people with nausea. I was definitely curious since I have had a lot of it. I started to do some research online and got some info about them.

There are a couple different kind. One called Sea-bands and one called Travel-Eze. They are mostly made for people who are traveling and get motion sickness easily. Like in the car or flying or on a boat. But it did say it helped during pregnancy.

They are these little cloth wrist band, that almost look like the ones people wear when they are playing sport. But they have this little plastic round thing on it that put pressure on the inside of you wrist. It is supposed to hit a pressure point and help nausea.

Here is what consumer reports had to say about them:

Queasy travelers, pregnant women, and others suffering from nausea may find some relief from special acupressure wristbands (Sea-Band and Travel-Eze; about $10 a pair). Based on principles similar to acupuncture, the bands apply pressure to a point about three finger-widths above the crease of your inner wrist (called the “P6 point”) believed to mediate nausea and vomiting. Controlled studies in pregnant women have found that the bands can reduce the frequency and severity of morning sickness. Studies testing them for motion sickness and chemotherapy- or anesthesia-related nausea have also yielded some positive results.

So last night after dinner I went out in search of these wrist bands. I checked Walmart, but couldn't find them. So then I checked Walgreens. They had the travel-eze ones. The guy that helped me said that they work pretty good and his wife wore them her whole pregnancy. So of course I wanted to try then and bought them.

I put them on last night and slept with them on. They are not the most comfortable thing to wear and look a little funny. But I think they are helping. I have felt pretty good this morning. We will see as the day goes on. I tend to get sick a lot in the evening, so I hope it helps tonight.

Has anyone else ever heard of these and used them? Just wondering. I am hoping they will help on my trip too!!!
