do sea sickness bands really work?

[calscubagirl]

well I believed the ginger and the accu-pressure bands would work and THEY didn't.
would've saved me $100 if that theory were true.

How did you spend $100.00 on ginger and the bands?

If the ginger and the pressure bands had worked, I wouldn't have HAD to spend the $100 (each) on the electric-shock bands.

which, by the way, worked like a champ yet again.
we just got back from 2 weeks in hawaii and the electric reliefbands were a WONDERFUL treatment that stopped symptoms immediately, whether car-sick, air-sick, or sea-sick.

I dont have sea legs... The inner ear does what it wants.... The best solution I have found so far is a scopamine patch (main side effect, dry mouth...which sucks in salt water but it's better than the alternative); coupled with 2 ginger root pills each morning. (You can get these at most stores). This combo has been great... And now I'm really wanting to see if I can actually handle a live aboard.Thoughts? Opinions? Experience? Suggestions?

Trader Joe's "Triple Ginger" cookies... with fresh, crystallized, and ground ginger.
