Abstract
A nausea control device is provided in the form of a watch-like housing and related attachment band for mounting onto the human wrist, wherein the device includes electronic circuitry for imparting electrical impulses via positive and negative electrodes to the percardium six (P6) acupuncture point for alleviating nausea. Batteries within the housing power the electric circuitry, and a manually operable switch on the housing controls on/off and pulse amplitude.
