About Sea-Band
Sea-Band is a British medical-device company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Hinckley, Leicestershire, England. It is best known for inventing the knitted acupressure wristband that applies steady pressure to the P6 (Nei-Kuan) point on the inner wrist, a drug-free approach to nausea that the brand has built its entire product range around. That range now spans Adult and Kids acupressure wristbands, a dedicated Maternity band for pregnancy-related nausea, and a line of Ginger lozenges and gum as a second drug-free mechanism. The core wristband is registered as a Class II medical device with FDA clearance, a regulatory status most acupressure competitors do not hold.
The P6 technique behind Sea-Band's products has more independent, peer-reviewed backing than most brands in this category can point to, including a 2001 Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing trial on nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, a 1995 Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine study on vection-induced motion sickness, and a Journal of Reproductive Medicine pilot study on acupressure during pregnancy. A 2025 study led by Obesity Medicine physician Dr. Florencia Ziemke, MD, dABOM, and covered by PR Newswire, found Sea-Band relieved GLP-1-associated nausea in over 80 percent of the 359 recorded episodes, with relief arriving within 5 minutes in a third of them. On Amazon, the flagship adult wristband has accumulated roughly 30,000 customer ratings at a 4.2-star average, the deepest real-world review base of any band in the motion sickness category.
