Hey everyone,
I wanted to share an article with you. I have been traveling the country speaking at a national tour for emerging business owners. I met two fabulous women in Los Angeles and quickly learned that they had something that I wanted to share with you. It’s been a very long time since I was pregnant myself, but with all of my pregnancies, I struggled with morning sickness for the first 5 months-definitely not a fun place to be. When I heard about their product, I purchased one right away for a friend who has brain cancer to help with her nausea from chemo. I also thought about all of my JBF peeps…many of whom are pregnant or will be soon.
So, while this may sound like a commercial…I felt I simply HAD to share! Leave a comment by Wednesday, April 27th and you will be entered into a drawing to win a set of Psi Bands. These bands have been mentioned in O-magazine, the Rachel Ray show and a slew of other places (and now on the JBF website)

TIPS FOR DRUG-FREE MORNING SICKNESS RELIEF
Psi Bands (www.psibands.com) were invented by two moms who were sick of the morning sickness they had to endure during their pregnancies. Many sources estimate that 80% of pregnant women experience the dreaded “morning sickness” –itself a misnomer, as anyone who has suffered through it can tell you that the nausea can last all day.
At Psi Bands we believe strongly in the use of wrist acupressure to relieve nausea for the following reasons:
• Numerous scientific studies support the use of wrist acupressure to relieve nausea.
• It’s easy to implement – simply place a Psi Band on each wrist.
• It is drug-free so it won’t harm your fetus or interfere with other medications.
Psi Bands are uniquely:
• fully adjustable around the wrist and at the acupressure point;
• waterproof – no more soggy wristbands so you can wear them in the shower; and
• fashionable – available in five fun different designs.
In addition to wrist acupressure to quell the queasies, following are some complementary drug-free tips we have come across:
• Try ginger. It can be found as a powder in a capsule, grated fresh into hot water for tea, in syrup, or even as a sucking candy.
• Cold fluids and solids like ice chips, popsicles, frozen grapes, etc. may provide relief and help take away the metallic taste in the mouth.
• Try not to eat too much at a time, but also avoid an empty stomach. Eat several small meals every day instead of large meals and try to incorporate protein into every meal.
• For morning nausea, keep a small snack (like crackers) right next to your bed and eat a bit before rising. Allow a few minutes for the snack to digest, then get out of bed slowly.
• Stay hydrated. Try a sports hydration drink, as well as water, broth, or juice.
• Get lots of rest. Stress and fatigue can make morning sickness worse.

My son’s doctor said we might want to try these for his car sickness.
I love the idea behind these! I feel nauseous on planes and would love to try these bands…plus I love that they are reusable so they can continue to provide relief in all situations! Thanks for the information and giveaway!
I used the this type of band on a cruise and they worked, along with ginger pills. But I had the soft terry type bands and they don’t last too well and get soiled. These look much sturdier and easy to clean.

These sound nice
My roommate suffers from a lot of nausea, I hope this would help him. Thanks!

My husband and I are going to work on getting our family started in a couple months and I think the Psi Band would be extremely helpful once morning sickness rolls around (which I’m totally dreading, haha). Thanks for the giveaway! =)
My son and I both suffer from motion sickness. I bought him a set of Psi Bands and they work great for him. I have a different type of band that requires (non-replaceable) batteries but the batteries are getting very weak on it. I could really use a set of Psi Bands for myself now! 🙂
My mom and brother both suffer from motion sickness, and since we travel often it would be really cool to win these!
My wife and son both suffer from motion sickness. Since we live in El Salvador as missionaries for the next few months, travel is mostly by bus and is up and down mountains and around curves that I almost get sick. We have to travel with plastic bags and extra clothes for my son. Right now, he really hates traveling by bus. I’d love to give these a try for him and my wife. Thanks!
This would really help with my morning sickness!
I could really use one of these!
Would love to win this! For my morning sickness I have tried Sierra Mist, crackers and Buttermilk Eggos.
I would love to try these!
I could DEF use those cuz i get nauseous on car rides anytime im not the driver, so i always have 2b the one that drives!
Ugh, in the midst of morning sickness right now. Blech for the first trimester!
Used something similar to this when I was pregnant 6+ years ago…but not as cute. Definitely worked. I have a good friend that is now pregnant with her 3rd and could use this for her perennial airsickness and now morning-sickness. Fun!
i’d like to try this
I get car sick so this should help
I wonder if these are good for cruising. Worth a shot!
I tried psi bands for two days now and they worked for me. I have a vertigo attack accompanied by motion sickness, and while having psi bands on my nausea and dizziness are gone. Thanx a lot for inventing those
