Wave goodbye to travel sickness with Motion-Less Bands
Traveling the world - for business or pleasure - is now easier than ever. But whether your journey is by air, road, rail or sea it can be a miserable experience if you suffer from travel sickness.
The nausea, dizziness and vomiting caused by any form of transport are triggered by a confusion of messages received in the brain. Although you may be sitting motionless in a seat, your senses tell you that you are actually moving.
Contrary to common belief, the resulting nausea is not “all in the mind” and is experienced by children and adults alike.
Early signs of travel sickness include quietness, headaches and lethargy, often followed by uncontrollable vomiting.
Motion-Less Bands have two big advantages: One, they're completely drug- and side effect-free. You don't need to worry about how they might interact with any medication you're on and, if you're pregnant, you don't need to worry about how they'll affect the baby.
Two, you can use Motion-Less Bands even after the symptoms of motion sickness have already started, as opposed to most drug-based remedies, which only work if taken before motion sickness sets in.
The Power of Pressure to Relive Travel and Motion Sickness
Nausea, or feeling ill, queasy and wanting to vomit, is not necessarily caused by a problem in the stomach. Travel sickness is a good example of nausea due to a condition somewhere else in the body.
Any form of transport can cause nausea, dizziness and vomiting. Our sense of equilibrium lies in the ear and works hand in hand with eyesight. When messages to these organs don't agree and the brain is confused by the extent the body is actually moving, the resulting symptom is one of nausea.
Daniel Choy was a ship's doctor on an ocean-going yacht when the vessel ran into rough weather off the North American coast. To everyone's consternation the seasickness pills had been washed overboard.
Dr Choy remembered a traditional remedy from his youth. “This sounds crazy,” he told the sailor, “but if you press this point on your wrist you might feel better.” They obeyed and to their astonishment many reported that the nausea subsided, returning only if they removed their fingers from the point.
Not surprisingly, it is not always possible or even comfortable to stay in such a position while traveling, which is why Motion-Less Anti Motion Sickness Bands were developed to tackle this problem.
The age old Asian Acu-pressure remedy for relieving nausea has been used in Chinese medicine for over 4,000 years which is where Motion-Less Bands have adopted the same idea - by applying
continuous pressure to a part of the body that controls motion sickness.
Simply put, the Motion-Less bands create the same acuy-pressure effect by means of a small plastic nubbin on each band that, once it's in place, the nubbin presses on the P6 (Nei-Kuan) acupressure point on your skin (which is between the two central tendons near the wrist) to reduce nausea.
Flex your wrist and you'll see two tendons standing out on the underside of your arm. The nubbin on the Motion-Less Bands should sit between those two tendons, two or three finger-widths away from the heel of your hand.

Why does Motion Sickness or Sea Sickness Occur?
The nausea, dizziness and vomiting caused by any form of transport are triggered by a confusion of messages received in the brain causing inner ear imbalances. Although you may be sitting motionless in a seat, your senses tell you that you are actually moving. Contrary to common belief, the resulting nausea is not "all in the mind" and is experienced by children and adults alike.
Early signs of travel sickness include quietness, headaches and lethargy, often followed by uncontrollable vomiting.
