Default airsickness prescription

In my experience, the "electric relief band" only works if the directions are followed explicitly. It is critical the electrodes be positioned so the "tingle" goes up the center of the palm to between the ring and second finger.

It needs to be turned on at the first inkling of the onset of nausea, and for most this means putting it on and getting it adjusted before take off.

Absolutely. Apparently, the brain end of the nerves that serve that part
of the hand lie close to nerves associated with the inner ear. A little
cross-talk between those nerves short-circuits the nausea signal.

It is a good idea to carry some of the conductive electrode paste
supplied with the band with you in flight. It tends to dry up. When it
does, you lose the tingle.
