Here's a good link that describes some safe sailing basics for all ages. Thanks to Brittney B. age 8, for the link!
The 1st FDA Cleared wrist worn wearable that treats nausea. It works for sea sickness, as well as car and air sickness. Unlike drug solutions, there are no side effects, and it can be used before or after symptoms start. Works in minutes, and is doctor recommended and clinically proven to work. More effective than pressure bands and patches. The Sport is waterproof so it can be worn on the boat or in the water. Also works for anxiety, morning sickness and gaming related motion sickness.
HOW IT WORKS: The Sport sends a gentle pulse up your median nerve which goes to the part of the brain that controls nausea. The pulse normalizes the messaging from the brain to the stomach and rapidly relieves the nausea and vomiting symptoms, with no side effects. It is waterproof and has 6 intensity settings. The battery is rechargeable and will last for approximately 25 hours on a full charge. Comes with the Sport unit, charging cable and a tube of conductivity gel.
