How Biobands Work. BioBands is an adjustable wristband that applies continuous acupressure to the P-6 acupressure point at the wrist to relieve nausea and vomiting from motion sickness, morning sickness, cancer treatments, and surgery anesthesia. A BioBand has a bead sewn into the wristband. This bead is positioned at a precise point on either wrist, then the band is tightened snugly so that it applies a constant pressure to this point (known as P-6) located on the inner forearm just above the wrist.
