Review and Giveaway – Sea Band Migraine and nausea relief

June 26, 2011 by GingerMommy 165 Comments

Both my oldest son and I suffer from migraines. If you have ever had one, you will know they are NOT fun! With me I need to be in a quiet room and dark surroundings. With my son he gets nausea and dizzy from them.. I was very happy to try out the new Sea Band Of course I have had had any migraine issues since we received them, but I also have been wearing mine. My son on the other hand has asked to wear his on numerous occasions when he knows he would be prone to nausea.

Sea Band is also a product you can use for car sickness. If you are not a believer of the Sea Band you can always try the ginger gum. This is something I learned about back during my pregnancies suffering with morning sickness.

If you suffer from migraines you have nothing to lose by trying these.

Did you know that 28 million Americans suffer from migraines! Are you one of them or do you know someone who does? If so, you understand that these chronic headaches are exceptionally debilitating and, on top of the intense pain, can trigger nausea that makes them even more uncomfortable to deal with (eight out of 10 people who are diagnosed with migraines report experiencing nausea). Plus, nausea makes it difficult to keep down the medication needed to treat the migraine to begin with.

This is where Sea-Band Drug Free Nausea Relief Bands can help. A study conducted at the Berolina Clinik (which specializes in migraine and headache therapy) in Loehne, Germany, showed that 85% of chronic migraine sufferers who participated by wearing Sea-Band (acupressure wristbands better known for helping people with motion/travel sickness and morning sickness) during a migraine attack reported positive results:

41 patients participated in the test; participants had, on average, suffered from migraines for more than 26 years
All participants had forgone the use of anti-emetics (anti-nausea drugs) for the purpose of this study
83% indicated a perceptible reduction in nausea associated with migraine as a result of wearing Sea-Band
44% indicated a significant reduction in overall (collective) migraine symptoms
Relief was reported after an average of 28 minutes of wearing the Sea-Bands
Nearly all participants (98%) said they’d use Sea-Band again

How Sea-Band works…

Approved by the FDA, Sea-Band works by exerting constant, gentle pressure on a point on the inner wrist known as the Pericardium 6 (P6) acupressure point. It brings effective relief and can be used before or after the onset of nausea. Sea-Band has traditionally been used to effectively reduce nausea from morning sickness, travel sickness, chemotherapy and post surgery. The all-natural, drug-free, latex-free Sea-Band does not cause side-effects often associated with anti-nausea medication such as drowsiness, disorientation, dry mouth or possible interactions with other drugs. It’s safe for patients taking prescription medications, pregnant women and children. Packaged in a convenient carry-case, they are washable and reusable, and one size fits most.

Sea-Bands may be used to relieve motion sickness, morning sickness and cancer nausea and vomiting. To ensure your Sea-Bands work properly, please follow the instructions below to position your wristbands 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 downward over the Nei-Kuan point. Repeat the process for the other wrist.
One band must be worn on each wrist to be effective. Sea-Bands can be put onto your wrist before you start travelling, or after you have started your journey.
Sea-Band is suitable for adults and children.
