The ferry companies here sell bracelets with a bead placed so that it

either, and a much less imposing cost.
Hi, A recent reference some of you might like to look up in JOGNN, on the use of wristbands for pregnancy nausea, is as follows:
Steele NM, French J, Gatherer-Boyles J, et al. Effect of sacupressure by Sea-Bands on nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. JOGNN 2001; 30(1); 61-70.
A similar product, different brand, is produced here in Brisbane and sold for for a similar price. I mention this, as brand names have been mentioned and I think it is worth noting that there are other brands producing what appears to be essentially the same product.
