Drawing on the principles of ancient Chinese acupressure, the Hay-Band works by applying pressure to the LI-11 point on either arm.

Fast-acting, drug-free and natural, it can be worn on one or both arms if symptoms are acute, and as a preventative.

Hay-Band costs £11.99 per (washable) band and is available in Northern Ireland via Natural Health Products, on 028 9070 3100, and for the rest of UK, from Hay-Band direct via www.hay-band.co.uk
