Frequently Asked Questions

How do Sea- Bands work?

The Sea-Band is a knitted elasticated wrist band, which operates by applying pressure on the Nei Kuan acupressure point (P6) on each wrist by means of a plastic stud. Because the bands do not use drugs, they do not cause any of the side effects associated with anti-nausea drugs.

How to position the Sea-Bands correctly?

Place your middle three fingers on the inside of your wrist with the edge of the third finger on the wrist crease. The Nei-Kuan point is just under the edge of your index finger between the two central tendons. Position the button facing downard over the Nei-Kuan point. Repeat the process for the other wrist.
