FAQ
WHAT ARE P6 Nausea Relief Bracelets?
Nausea Relief Bracelets are a, clinically proven, drug free alternative treatment for the control of nausea and vomiting.
P6 Nausea Relief Bracelets are acupressure bands that fit around the patient’s wrist just like a sweat band-with a pressure stud sewn inside.

ARE P6 Nausea Relief Bracelets COST EFFECTIVE?

A plastic stud is attached to the inside of the wrist band which exerts pressure and stimulates the P6 (or Nei-Kuan) acupressure point. It has been proven that pressure on this point relieves nausea and vomiting.
WHEN SHOULD THEY BE ADMINISTERED?
P6 Nausea Relief Bracelets may be applied as a preventative measure before the onset of nausea (such as before surgery to reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting associated with anaesthesia).
