The principle of the bracelet from motion sickness
Before you buy a bracelet for your child, it is important to understand how it works. The work of this product is based on the subtleties of ancient medicine of the East, namely the acupuncture principle of action on points localized in the area of the wrists.
As soon as the bracelet is put on the child’s hand, certain impulses will begin to be transmitted through the nerve endings to the brain, due to which the load on the vestibular system will be significantly reduced and, at the same time, the digestive organs will improve and the blood circulation will be stabilized.
The motion sickness bracelets have in their structure a special ball that gently acts on certain points of the child’s wrist – the pericardium. In eastern medicine, there is the oldest technique that can non-drug way can save a person from seasickness, digestive tract problems, increased nervousness.
The action of this technique is based on a constant, but rather moderate massage of certain points on the human body (not only on the wrists). These points are interconnected by nerve fibers with various systems and organs of the body. Each biologically active point is responsible for some vital process in the body: for example, to normalize the general blood flow, the work of the gastrointestinal tract, the state of the nervous system, and much more. The acupuncture point located in the wrist area is responsible for all of the above processes in the body. It is called the “point of the pericardium.”
If you wear an acupuncture bracelet with the appearance of symptoms of nausea, dizziness, weakness, a direct effect on the pericardial point occurs, and the person’s condition should improve. Of course, you can manually massage this biologically active point without a bracelet, but, firstly, you need to accurately determine it, secondly, the effect should be moderate, and thirdly, self-massage will take a lot of time and help for a short time. The bracelet will relieve all this trouble.
