When I had morning sickness I was at my wits end since there was literally nothing that helped me. My doctor prescribed me medicine, told me to try this and that and none of it worked. Its a difficult situation because you try to be responsible for the being growing inside of you but you feel so horrible that you just need some solution to make your life live able during this time.
I turned to acupressure wristbands. Yes.... I know most people either don't know about them or just THINK that they would never work. I was in the category of people who just didn't believe that these silly wristbands would make ANY difference but I needed something quick. So after all else failed.... I gave them a try. I didn't even know where to find them or what they were called. I pulled up some recent studies on acupressure for nausea and all the research showed that this was an effective remedy for all symptoms of nausea. I will include some studies on this blog for your education. I found some at Rite Aid... they were ugly but I just wanted to see if they actually worked.
I still find myself in disbelief that they actually worked for me. I literally got into my car and got the wristbands out of their packaging and put them on. Now I kid you not... I felt better almost immediately. My nausea and dizziness subsided so fast that I was amazed.
At this time I was still doing my regular job... I am a pro horse trainer and jumping horses no less so my true test with these wristbands was whether I could ride or not. Well... do I even need to say it? I was fine. Right as rain really as long as I kept the bands in place I felt normal. Pretty much the deal with acupressure wristbands is knowing where to place the bead on the inside of your wrist. If you can read directions then this should not be an issue for most people.
I did have one problem with the wristbands though... they were ugly and lost elasticity quickly. I was shocked that someone never decided to make stylish wristbands since most people go out in public with these on. There were some nice plastic ones but I didn't like the feel of them on my skin especially since I wore them all day and night.
It has been years since I had morning sickness but I never lost sight of my ideas for a different type of acupressure wristband that would be effective yet stylish and adjustable for personal comfort. After many trials and errors I have come up with something that I feel most people would like and I call them Rogue Bracelets. There is nothing out there like them and I am proud of my design for both men and women who suffer from motion sickness, morning sickness, treatment related nausea, sea sickness, HEARTBURN, and anxiety.
If you suffer from any form of nausea and you don't want to take medications then I suggest you give acupressure wristbands a try. Please feel free to check out my website http://www.antinauseawristbands.com/
