Wearers claim that seasickness can be avoided by their use, thus eliminating the need for drugs such as Dramamine, etc.

The Benefits of Using Sea Bands for Seasickness Relief

Sea Bands are a type of acupressure wristband that claim to alleviate seasickness symptoms without the use of medication. Those who wear Sea Bands believe that this form of treatment can make the use of drugs like Dramamine unnecessary. The mechanism of action of Sea Bands is simple: a small button located on the inside of the band applies pressure to the Nei Kuan acupressure point on the wrist, which is believed to have a calming effect on the digestive system and prevent nausea and vomiting during motion sickness. Despite limited scientific evidence proving their effectiveness, many people swear by Sea Bands for preventing seasickness while traveling on boats or ships.
