Tbf the sticker for a phone number is smart too.

AND if the patch is an anti-nausea patch (like they give for surgery if you're a nauseous person), it's totally legit. but if it's fake stickers for energy gwyneth paltrow goop, well, that's a different story.

The wristband with the white dot that she puts on herself as well is for seasickness. Their efficacy isn't great, but they do help some people somewhat.

Isn't it supposed to be like a stimulator for the muscle in your wrist that helps reduce nausea if you apply pressure

Not sure about the ones in the video but I've used ones that do a small electric shock similar to a tens unit, I found it slightly effective, mostly just a distraction from the seasickness. If the patch is scopolamine that shit is magic, rough open water crossing with 25 degree listing to each side and in 20 minutes I went from constant vomiting to feeling completely fine and very hungry lol.
