"Lucky me, I've developed intense motion sickness as an adult. As someone who spends a ton of time backpacking in the mountains, this is a huge bummer, because there is no way you're getting to a mountain range without a slow and windy drive. These drives always left me feeling sick and nauseous, until I discovered ReliefBand ($95, originally $115). Worn on the wrist, the band uses technology called neuromodulation to treat motion sickness. It sends gentle pulses (sort of like a mild shock) to a pressure point on the wrist, which signals the brain to essentially turn off feelings of nausea.
I can wholeheartedly say that it works. I've worn this thing on hellish drives up mountains and also during a rocky boat trip while I was in Maui; as soon as the feelings of nausea started to come, I turned on the band and within minutes felt normal. The Reliefband is FDA-cleared for motion sickness, morning sickness, and VR gaming as a drug-free alternative for finding relief." — MF
