For people undergoing radiation, wearing an acupressure wristband might relieve nausea. An alternative to traditional acupressure, such wristbands stimulate a specific point on the wrist. By applying pressure to this point, the wristband aims to release blocked energy and–in turn–reduce nausea.
In a recently published study, 88 people with cancer (all of whom had reported suffering some degree of nausea after previous radiation treatments) were assigned to receive either standard care or standard care in addition to an acupressure wristband. Among those who wore wristbands, there was a 23.8 decrease in nausea. Those who didn't wear wristbands, meanwhile, only saw a 4.8 percent drop in nausea.
Acupressure wristbands are also worn by people looking to soothe morning sickness or motion sickness.
There is also an acupressure product that helps relieve the symptoms of hayfever called the Qu-chi acupressure band. I got one last summer and havent needed to take any antihistamines since.
My wife tried the Hay-Band for hay fever last spring/summer – she is a teacher and it helped her immensley. She used to take tablets, because she is quite petite, they would literally knock her out (even on a childs dose!).
Even though she has used Sea-Bands for her travel sickness she was really sceptical about acupressure working for hay fever, but she has been pleasantly surprised. Whilst they are not the most attractive thing to wear, it beats having her eyes and nose streaming!
I loved this post it’s exactly what I was looking for.
