I've reviewed the relief band in the context of my experience as a

experiences.


I sail as well as flying, and am cursed with rotten sea-sickness. I
tried the pressure bands and they did have some effect, but the only
thing that works effectively for me is transdermal hyoscine -
Scopaderm patches. When they went off the market for a few years I had
to give up sailing.

I've never needed or tried them for flying though.

Would suggest that being PIC and the potential effects of Scopolamine/
Hyocyamine are not compatible. Effects are subtle and variable from time to
time as well as from individual to individual.

Not at all benign for flying--or driving, or running dangerous machinery.
