FAQs
How do Sea-Bands work?
Sea-Bands work by applying continuous pressure to the P6 (Nei-Kuan) acupressure point on each wrist. This point is scientifically recognized to help alleviate symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
Are Sea-Bands suitable for children?
Yes, Sea-Bands are suitable for both adults and children. They offer a drug-free solution, making them safe for younger users.
Can I wear Sea-Bands for an extended period?
Yes, Sea-Bands can be worn for as long as needed to alleviate nausea. They are designed for continuous use without side effects like drowsiness.
Do Sea-Bands have any side effects?
No, Sea-Bands are drug-free and generally do not cause any side effects. The most common feedback is temporary indentations on the wrist from the pressure stud.
How do I clean my Sea-Bands?
To clean your Sea-Bands, simply hand wash them with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely.
Can I use Sea-Bands if I'm taking medication?
Yes, as Sea-Bands are a drug-free solution, they can be safely used in conjunction with most medications without concern for interactions. Always consult your doctor if you have specific medical concerns.
When should I put on the Sea-Bands?
For preventative measures, such as travel sickness, it's best to put them on before your journey begins. For sudden onset nausea, like morning sickness, you can apply them at the first signs of discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Sea-Bands don't seem to be working.
Ensure the plastic stud on each band is correctly positioned directly over the P6 (Nei-Kuan) acupressure point on each wrist. Re-read the instructions for locating this point, or try adjusting the band's position slightly. Effectiveness can also vary between individuals.
The bands feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Adjust the band's position or tightness. While they need to be snug to apply pressure, they should not restrict circulation or cause discomfort. If irritation persists, remove the bands for a short period and reapply, or consider if the size is appropriate for your wrist.
My wrists have temporary indentations after wearing the bands.
This is a normal occurrence due to the pressure applied by the stud. The indentations should disappear shortly after removing the bands. If redness or discomfort persists, ensure the bands are not excessively tight.
