Sick of Simulator/VR/Gaming Nausea?

Nix VR-induced nausea with Sea-Band® Nausea Relief Bands

In the US, it's estimated that over 64 million children between the ages of 2 and 17 play video games. This represents approximately 91% of children in that age range . So if you know a teen or a tween, there's a good chance you know a passionate gamer.

What you might not know is that VR-induced motion sickness, or simulator sickness, can be just as real as physical motion sickness, with up to 70% of VR users experiencing nausea after just 15 minutes of playing . Children and adolescents are considered to be most at risk, as well as those usually prone to motion sickness.

As with travel-related motion sickness, there is the same sensory conflict that can result in nausea. Your eyes perceive movement within the virtual environment, such as soaring through the sky or racing in a car, sending signals to your brain that you are in motion, whilst your inner ear, which is responsible for balance, reports that you are stationary, creating a contradiction between what you see and what you feel.

The brain struggles to reconcile these opposing signals, and this neural confusion triggers symptoms of motion sickness, with one hypothesis suggesting the brain interprets this clash as a sign of being poisoned, causing it to initiate a defence mechanism of nausea, and in some instances, vomiting .

VR-induced nausea was first identified in pilots using flight simulators, but it is now believed to be much more widespread as immersive technologies become more common.

And yet, whilst the cause of the nausea might be high tech, the solution is simple, 100% natural and suitable for all.

Sea-Band Nausea Relief Bands help to relieve nausea fast. Worn like a sweatband around each your wrist, the pressure stud sewn into the interior of each acupressure wristband, presses against and stimulates the P6 (or Nei-Kuan) acupressure point on the inside of your wrist.

Extensive research, including independent expert opinion, clinical reviews and randomised controlled trials, shows that pressure applied to this point, can relieve nausea and vomiting associated with motion and travel, pregnancy, chemotherapy, migraine, post-operative recovery and most recently, the use of GLP-1 medication.

Sea-Band is natural, discreet, and free from side-effects, and typically reduces nausea within five minutes after being placed around your wrist.

Wear one on both wrists, either as a preventative measure before nausea is anticipated, before you start gaming, or after nausea kicks.

Sea-Band can be worn by children as young as three, although Sea-Band® Kids ($14.99) is recommended here as the band needs to fit snugly around the wrist to work. The adult bands come in a variety of colours and two sizes, and also cost from $14.99.

The Sea-Band range of products is available from CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Meijers and Rite Aid and online from www.sea-band.com.
