P6 ACUPRESSURE BRACELETS FOR NAUSEA
How to Use
- It is best to put bracelets on both wrists before nausea starts
- The response to acupressure for nausea tends to vary by person, but it is common to experience relief within a few minutes of putting on the bands.
- After wearing the bracelets, a temporary circle will be visible in the skin where the pressure bead was placed. Please use them only as directed.
- The bracelets should be worn only on the P6 point. Use in another location will not relieve nausea.
- Wear the bracelets only on the P6 point. Use in another location will not relieve nausea.
- If you cannot put both bracelets on, it is okay to use only one wrist if you cannot use both wrists.
- You can use your Blisslets as long as they feel comfortable and the condition causing your nausea persists (for example, throughout your cruise or pregnancy). You may wear them for up to 48 continuous hours before taking a break.
Formula
These bracelets for nausea are curated, classic and clean AND without latex. Your expert lady gastroenterologist curated these acupressure bracelets to provide fast, discreet relief without drugs or side effects, and are made without latex.
Side Effects
Length of Use:You can use your Blisslets if the condition causing your nausea persists (for example, throughout your cruise or pregnancy), and you may wear them for up to 48 continuous hours before taking a break. Health and Safety Notice: Use only as directed. The bracelets should be worn only on the P6 point, and use in another location will not relieve nausea. Nausea and vomiting may be associated with serious conditions, and you should consult a doctor if symptoms persist. You should consult your doctor before wearing them if you have problems with reduced circulation, carpal tunnel syndrome, or neuropathy. While acupressure may be effective on its own or combined with other approaches, do not use it as a replacement for medically prescribed treatment. Wear your bracelets in a way that is snug but comfortable and does not interfere with circulation. If you experience swelling, pain, skin irritation, or numbness in your fingers, you should stop wearing the bracelets and consult a medical professional. Keep out of the reach of young children. If snaps or beads are removed, they can be a choking hazard. Acupressure may provide relief of nausea symptoms but does not cure underlying causes. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Do Not Use If…
Do not use it if you have pre-existing swelling, redness, or pain in the wrists.

What Women Need To Know About Motion Sickness
Overview
Motion sickness starts in your brain, not your imagination. When your inner ear, eyes, and body sensors report conflicting information about movement, the brain‑stem’s autonomic and vomiting centers decide something is wrong. Histamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, substance P, and cholecystokinin flood your system, creating the nausea, dizziness, and queasiness you know too well. From an evolutionary standpoint, this whole‑body alarm was meant to make you stop moving and purge any potential neuro‑toxin that might have caused the sensory mismatch.
Women are uniquely prone to motion sickness. Hormonal shifts in estrogen and progesterone change how the vestibular system—from the otolith organs in the inner ear to the brain‑stem circuits that interpret motion—processes movement. Sex‑specific genetic variants, a higher prevalence of migraine heighten the likelihood of sensory mismatch. Even dramatic spikes and crashes in blood sugar can intensify symptoms. Eating a balanced, low‑glycemic meal before you travel helps steady glucose levels and lowers your risk of motion‑induced nausea.
During an episode, slow diaphragmatic breathing is the gentlest, most effective intervention you can perform anywhere. Aim for six to eight deep abdominal breaths per minute. Sitting upright, place one hand on your belly, inhale through your nose for four seconds, feel the abdomen rise, then exhale softly through your mouth for six seconds, letting the abdomen fall. Maintain this rhythm for several minutes and focus on belly movement, not chest expansion. The practice boosts heart‑rate variability, engages the parasympathetic nervous system, and eases motion sickness symptoms.
If you prefer a drug‑free device, P6 (Pericardium 6) acupressure bracelets apply steady pressure about three finger‑breadths above the wrist crease. Continuous stimulation of this point can modulate the neural pathways that govern nausea. Clinical findings are encouraging, and the bracelets are safe for most users—including pregnant women—so they are worth a try for motion sickness relief.
When symptoms threaten to derail your plans, scopolamine skin gel delivers dependable protection. Apply it behind the ears at least four hours before boarding. Scopolamine blocks muscarinic receptors in the central nervous system, interrupting the vestibular signals that feed the vomiting center. Studies consistently show it reduces motion‑induced nausea and vomiting with minimal side effects; dry mouth is the most common.
By stabilizing blood sugar, practicing diaphragmatic breathing, experimenting with P6 acupressure, and using scopolamine you can reclaim comfort and confidence whether you travel by car, boat, or plane—and leave motion sickness in the rear‑view mirror.
