Sea-Band Nausea Relief Wristbands

My 12 year old son has always suffered from car sickness.  His older sisters get nauseous sometimes in the car, but it is much more frequent for him.  He rarely actually throws up, but a long trip makes him feel miserable.  When he was about 5 years old we discovered the Sea-Band Wristbands, and we have been using them every since.  Sea-Band works by exerting constant, gentle pressure on a point on an acupressure point on the inner wrist.  It brings effective relief within five minutes of being applied and can be used before or after the onset of nausea.  These Sea-Bands are FDA approved for nausea, and they work extremely well for my family.

Once my son started using them his older sisters started using them too.  They don’t get sick as often, but they can’t read in the car without feeling nauseous.  Since we are practically the only family left in the country without a portable DVD player for car trips, they read in the car a lot.  So on long car trips all three of my children usually wear Sea-Bands.  Luckily they are very reasonably priced, at about $11 a pair, and are available in most drug stores.  We have had to start out car trips with a stop at the drug store to pick up a new pair more than once, since my children lose them!
