Pisix Band by MEDIEXCHANGE is an adjustable wristband that applies steady acupressure to the P-6 acupressure point on the wrist to alleviate nausea and vomiting from motion sickness throughout traveling morning sickness throughout pregnancy post most cancers therapies and surgical procedure anesthesia. Precept Behind The PISIX BAND Different nerve fibers carry signals to the mind at different speeds. Touch and pressure signals are carried by large-diameter nerve fibers and can arrive on the mind a lot ahead of pain sensation and signals that are carried by small-diameter nerve fibers. For instance think about what occurs once you stub your toe. - The very first thing you're feeling is a sensation of affect as your toe hits the wall. Then a minute or so later you're feeling the pain from the harm to your toe despite the fact that the tissue injury occurred on the similar second. It's because information about touch sensations travels to the mind by means of quicker nerve fibers whereas information about pain and tissue injury travels to the brain by means of slower nerve fibers. The touch signals will at all times attain the brain first. This similar precept applies to the different signals that trigger nausea and vomiting the signals to the brain that activate the brain's Vomiting Center. The neurological signals that set off nausea will travel to the brain by means of slower small-diameter nerve fibers. However a PISIX BAND creates pressure signals that travel by means of quicker large-diameter nerve fibers within the median nerve to the mind. Making use of a PISIX BAND at this actual point (between two tendons and pressing the median nerve) will activate sensory receptors (proprioceptors) sending quicker pressure sensation signals to the brain interrupting the signals that might set off the Vomiting Center. Thus Pisix Band works by relieving the discomfort that comes from nausea and vomiting.
