Nei-Kuan
Nei-Kuan point
The Nei-Kuan (or P6) point is a spot on your inner wrist that’s been used in traditional Chinese medicine to help relieve nausea and anxiety.
Gently applying pressure here—like with an acupressure band—can help calm queasiness naturally, especially during travel. It’s a simple, non-medicated way that many travellers swear by.

Frequently asked questions
Want to know more about TravaCalm Kids Travel Bands, or the rest of our TravaCalm range? See our list of frequently asked questions to get the answers you’re looking for.
What causes motion sickness?
Motion sickness occurs when your senses send you conflicting messages. Whether you’re in a car, on a boat, or in a plane during turbulence, your body can tell that you’re moving, but your eyes tell a different story.
The opposite can also occur when your body tells you that you are not moving (e.g. sitting) but your eyes tell you that you are moving.
The inner ears, which are responsible for your balance, send messages to the brain telling it that the body is physically moving, meanwhile the eyes send messages that the body is stationary or vice versa. This conflicting information may cause unpleasant motion sickness symptoms.
How can I prevent motion sickness?
There are many preventative measures you can take to avoid motion sickness, including:
- During motion, look at the horizon or a distant, stationary object
- Sit in the front seat of the car during car rides and keep your eyes on the road as if you were driving
- Sit in the centre of a ship or the front edge of the wing on a plane, where there is the least amount of motion
- Take a turn driving – you are less likely to get motion sickness when you are driving
- Try closing your eyes to eliminate sensory confusion
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before travelling and during the trip
- Make sure you have plenty of fresh air
- Always face the direction of travel
- If travelling on a bus or train, sit in a forward facing seat
- Avoid reading or looking at a screen
- Take a motion sickness medication before you start your journey, like a TravaCalm product
