Sea Band Review/Giveaway!

I was given the opportunity to try, review and do a giveaway for Sea Bands! I have been dealing with motion sickness for most of my life and was anxious to try this! These are snug wrist bands that apply pressure to your pressure points in your wrists. This is said to provide relief from nausea caused by motion sickness and headaches! I wasn't able to try the bands for motion sickness, I didn't have any bouts but I did have a horrendous headache. I don't get headaches and this was a bad, bad one. I was miserable and afraid I may get nauseous as nothing was helping and it was only getting worse. Then I remembered I had my Sea Bands! I do think they helped relieve some of the pressure and pain and I did not have any nausea. Not that I hope for motion sickness issues but I surely will keep them with me when my husband is driving! ;)

Here is more info on Sea Bands:

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.
