BIG Congratulations to Crystal for the exciting news of baby #3 on the way!
In honor of our friend, I thought I’d share this tip with you all that I have shared with her. When I was pregnant with my second child, baby Titus, I was terribly nauseous! And it wasn’t just in the morning, it lasted ALL DAY LONG! Every time I smelled dirty dishes, or even simply opened the fridge, I’d have to make a run for the bathroom. It was horrible. Fortunately that stopped when I was about 4 months along. In the meantime, I had to find something to ease the nausea.
My mom, who is really into alternative medicine, recommended to me that I try some acupressure wrist bands. She sent some to me, and I skeptically tried them out. I was really surprised when they actually worked! They worked so well that I refused to take them off ! Every time I took them off for any period of time, I could feel the nausea creeping back to me. Here is what they are:
Here is a little of the product description for you to read:
“Psi Bands (pronounced “Sigh Bands”) are indicated for the relief of nausea due to morning sickness (pregnancy), motion sickness/travel, chemotherapy, and post-operative nausea from anesthesia.
- Drug-free
- Comfortable
- Adjustable - around the wrist like a watch & at the acupressure point - adjust the dial to choose the amount of pressure for personalized comfort.
- Waterproof - no more soggy wrist bands
- Fashionable - 5 fun styles from which to choose
- Reusable
The Psi Bands Story Psi Bands were created by two fashion-forward moms-to-be looking for a drug-free way to treat their ongoing morning sickness. Determined to feel better without using drugs, they discovered the benefits of wrist acupressure to relieve their nausea and vomiting. Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses pressure to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities.
Psi Bands are being praised for their unique combination of features and benefits. Have fun mixing and matching designs. Wearing is believing. Breathe a Psi of relief.”
The ones that I used aren’t nearly as cute, and were cloth so I had to take them off in the shower. The next time I’m pregnant (Lord willing), I am definitely putting these on my list of things to get! I love that they are totally natural; no pills to take, no side-effects to worry about. Anyways, I thought I’d pass this along to some of you who may not have ever heard of them. Hope this is helpful!
If you’ve ever used these, or have any questions about them, or even know of other natural remedies to treat Morning Sickness, I’d love to hear from you!
