Great for sea sickness, 29-11-2017
By: Karen Palmer (IPSWICH)

I used these patches on a recent cruise, as I usually suffer from nausea and worse if the seas are even a little rough. They worked wonderfully. I had no nausea, also no side effects from the patch, which worn behind the ear is virtually invisible. I have stocked up for my next cruise!
