How TENS Technology Works for Morning Sickness Relief

Morning sickness affects up to 80% of pregnant women — and while it’s often seen as a normal part of pregnancy, that doesn’t make it any easier to live with. Nausea and vomiting can strike at any time of day (not just mornings!) and can leave you feeling drained, uncomfortable, and frustrated.

Many mums-to-be are looking for safe, drug-free ways to feel better without risking their baby’s health — and that’s where TENS technology comes in.

What is TENS technology?

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation — which simply means sending tiny, gentle electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate nerves underneath.

For decades, TENS has been used for pain relief and relaxation, from easing sore muscles after exercise to helping manage chronic pain. But more recently, researchers and clinicians discovered another powerful use for TENS: helping with nausea and vomiting.

By adapting the technology into a small wearable wristband, innovators created a way for pregnant women to experience the benefits of TENS without medication — offering a new level of relief for morning sickness.

How does TENS help with morning sickness?

Morning sickness often starts in the first trimester and is thought to be caused by a mix of hormonal changes and signals sent between the stomach and brain.

The EmeTerm anti-nausea wristband works by stimulating the P6 (Neiguan) acupressure point on your wrist with gentle, controlled electrical pulses. This spot, just above the wrist crease, is a well-known pressure point used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to relieve nausea.

When the EmeTerm sends those mild pulses to the P6 point, it:

• Disrupts nausea signals being sent to the brain.

• Calms overactive nerve pathways in the stomach area.

• Provides consistent, soothing stimulation that helps reduce the queasy feeling before it builds.

The best part? It’s drug-free, non-invasive, and can be used throughout the day — whether you’re at work, resting at home, or even travelling.

Is TENS safe for pregnancy?

Understandably, safety is the top priority for every expectant mum. The EmeTerm wristband was designed with that in mind.

• Low-level stimulation: The pulses are incredibly gentle — you’ll feel a mild tingling sensation, but nothing harsh or uncomfortable.

• Non-invasive: There are no needles, medications, or chemicals involved.

• Clinically tested: EmeTerm has been used by pregnant women around the world and is cleared for morning sickness relief.

Because the device is worn on the wrist only, there’s no need to worry about placement elsewhere. The technology is safe for daily use, but as with any health device, it’s always a good idea to check in with your doctor or midwife if you have any concerns.

How to use the EmeTerm for morning sickness relief

Using the EmeTerm is simple:

1️⃣ Put it on your wrist like a watch — snug, but comfortable.

2️⃣ Turn it on and select your preferred intensity setting (start low and adjust as needed).

3️⃣ Wear it when you need relief — many mums find it helpful first thing in the morning, before travelling, or during times when nausea usually strikes.

The EmeTerm anti-nausea wristband is discreet enough to wear all day, and many users find that keeping it on regularly helps keep symptoms at bay, rather than waiting for nausea to hit.

It’s also rechargeable and reusable, making it an easy, eco-friendly option compared to disposable nausea bands.
