A Psi Sigh of Relief
T'is the season for stress, fear and anxiety. Their common symptom is nausea and in some cases vomiting. I hope this departure from my usual posts (or my bold self-portrait) doesn't leave you queasy but with a sigh of relief.
The lovely people from Psi Bands sent me two pairs of their anti-nausea bands to try out. The adjustable bands fit like a watch or bracelet and are designed to press on a acupressure point on the wrist to naturally relieve queasiness. I see an acupuncturist regularly and swear by Eastern medicine for its drug-free benefits. This being the season of over-indulgence in food and drink mixed with travel, I can't think of a better stocking stuffer gift. For complete information, visit psibands.com Their easy to navigate website is a joy.
I gave a pair of the latex-free plastic bands to my step-daughter who is always prone to car-sickness. She wasted no time trying the edgy, punk black ones out on a bumpy bus ride home from college. She happily reported success. Personally, I look forward to testing the cute aqua ones on a cruise. Psi (pronounced sigh) work on any kind of nausea from morning sickness , chemotherapy and motion sickness from planes, trains, boats and automobiles.

I've had a less stylish version of these for decades, and they do work. I get nauseous on car rides unless I'm driving, and I don't do well with turbulence on planes, either. These bands are life savers. Nice to know that there are pretty version available now.

Decades! Wow, this is a great testimonial.

Fascinating and I am glad it works for you. Nausea is horrible. I've made a note of this so I can get one if I ever need one. The only time I get nauseous is if I am dehydrated.
I wear a copper and magnetic bracelet to prevent arthritic or fibromyalgic pain. In 2000, I started to feel a lot of pain in my joints -- seemed to be both muscular and skeletal. I said. Oh no, not having this. In Montreal, on St. Catherine Street, that summer, in a gift shop, was a copper/magnetic bracelet for 10 bucks with a note that stated 'Ever since the Romans, people have found relief from pain with copper and magnets." I thought: well, it probably won't work but it is worth a try. I couldn't believe it, but in a few days, I was pain free. That summer, I had to have an MRI done and I had to take off my bracelet. I didn't put it back on, just to see what happens. The pain came back within a few days. I put the bracelet back on and the pain went away. I've done the same thing a few times. The pain will come back if I stop wearing it, but within a few days after wearing it again, the pain disappears.

What a great idea. Handy to have on hand before you need them too!

That would be wonderful. I don't see why they couldn't. I assume the anti-nausea band works to quell the vertigo in the brain. I have to take dramamine for boat rides or wild rides. It quells the vertigo element in the brain.
