Product Description
SCAT Acupressure Motion-Aid W/Magnets Easy to use professional design with 900 gauss magnets. The Pc-6 point on the wrist ("Ney Guan" or "Inner Gate") is well known by all Oriental practitioners. The combination of pressure and a magnet, when applied to this point, creates synergism and aids motion sickness and nausea. Ney Guan is now enjoyed world wide by sea and land travelers, active sportsmen, and mothers-to-be. Adjustable and reusable, one size fits all, 10" long x 0.8" wide wrist band uses a Velcro type strap closure. Pressure is applied with the use of a polished, 0.25"x0.55" diameter hemisphere magnet which is permanently bonded to the band. Sold as a pair. Includes instructions.

Scratchy and Irritating by Cindy 1 Stars
January 05, 2010
I don't understand the positive reviews on this silly wrist strap. It is VERY uncomfortable and scratchy. Even if I did were it longer than 5 minutes, it is impossible to figure out if you have it on the right spot to be effective.

Saved my sanity with 24/7 "morning" sickness by jillybug (LA) 4 Stars
July 20, 2009
At the end of my rope with SEVERE nausea day and night, a band like this was my constant companion. If I ever forgot to put it on, my nausea was MUCH more unbearable. It did not cure my sickness but took the edge off to the extent that I could not live without it. This was 14 years ago. You have to position the pressure bump just right or the band is useless. They call it the P6 pressure point. For me it is about where you feel your pulse. I now hold my children's wrists and apply pressure in that P6 spot and it really seems to help with nausea when they are sick. At least 2 out of 3 of my children report a real difference. I plan to order bands for them because my hand gets tired. I'd give it 5 stars personally, but I guess it may not work for everyone.

Prevent sea sickness by Y. Yokozawa (Eureka, CA USA) 3 Stars
May 15, 2008
My job requires me to go on cruises, so I need something to prevent sea sickness. Since I don't want to take sea sickness medicines, this will be the perfect solution. I haven't use it yet, but my friends told me this works well. I'll add more reviews after I actually used this.

Skeptic at first by Zaika's Hubby (Baltimore, MD USA) 4 Stars
March 06, 2008
I am prone to motion sickness, whether it be car, plane, boat or train. I usually use dramamine but it makes me so sluggish and drowsy. My first experience with the SCAT wrist straps was on a train. Normally all the bouncing around would make my stomach do flip flops but with the straps fitted around the right wrist, I showed no signs of nausea. My brain was sensing the movement but the stomach was calm. My next experience was on an airplane flying home in some turbulent weather. Although it was a scary experience, my stomach did not get the nausea signals from the brain at all. This is a remarkable product. I always keep one with me at all times, cause you never know when you may need it. It takes a few minutes for the effect to start working and once taken off, everything goes back to normal shortly after that.

No more motion sickness! by Noelle (Washington, DC) 5 Stars
December 17, 2007
I was skeptical at first about ordering these because I've been getting car sick since I was a little girl, but when I realized it was accupressure, I had a good feeling it would work. I truly have a new found respect for the acupunture and accupressure methods. I have tried them both and I am a believer. Any whoo, no more motion sickness and it actually gives you a calm euphoric feeling. I am very pleased.
