Psi Bands

Breathe a “Psi” of Relief

When California moms Carla Falcone and Romy Taormina were pregnant, each suffered with terrible nausea. They didn’t want to take drugs. But “other options were limited,” Romy recalls. They eventually found relief in a surprising way –- through acupressure, a 5,000 year-old practice of applying pressure to certain parts of the body to relieve pain or discomfort.

Once their queasiness faded, they set out to create an acupressure bracelet that would help other women suffering in the same way. They call their product “Psi” (pronounced “sigh”) bands. Designed with fashion in mind, Psi bracelets are colorful bands that adjust like a watch band and are worn on each wrist. Attached is an adjustable disk that applies pressure to a spot called the P6 or nei-kuan acupressure point. The bands are waterproof, affordable, and reusable. They come in contemporary designs that work for both men and women.

The bands really do seem to work no matter what is making your stomach do flips — pregnancy, motion sickness, chemotherapy or anesthesia. We love the fact that the bands work without the use of drugs. What could be better for pregnant women and those recovering from other medical conditions? Sure beats sipping ginger ale and nibbling crackers.
