What is Transway Anti-Nausea Patch used for?
Transway protects you—no more motion sickness in cars, buses, boats, planes, or trains. The Transway Anti-Nausea Patch is a self-massage system (needle-free acupuncture) that’s highly effective against motion sickness. Transway is very effective against nausea, vomiting, and the feeling of discomfort associated with motion sickness.
The anti-nausea patches work like acupressure (a form of needle-free acupuncture) and are designed to combat nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness. They are based on the same principles as anti-nausea wristbands, applying gentle yet firm pressure to the Nei-Kuan acupuncture point. To be effective, one patch should be placed on each forearm, ideally fifteen minutes before starting the trip, especially for people who are prone to motion sickness. The effectiveness of these patches depends primarily on their correct placement on the wrist (located between the two wrist tendons, approximately two thumb-widths from the first wrist crease).
The Nei-Kuan acupuncture point, also known as P6 or Pericardium 6, is a specific point located on the wrist. Traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its influence on the body’s energy balance, it is recognized for its effectiveness in treating nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness. This point is located three finger-widths below the wrist crease, between the two main tendons. Acupressure applied to Nei-Kuan helps relieve symptoms by stimulating this specific area, offering a natural and non-invasive method for managing the discomforts associated with travel or other conditions that cause nausea.
Transway contains no medicationand no needles. It is effective, painless, and convenient. It has no side effects and no contraindications.
- For adults and children over 3 years of age.
The effectiveness of the Transway device depends entirely on its proper positioning:
- Close and clench your fist: the two tendons on your wrist will become prominent
- Place the tip of the Transway cone between the two tendons, about two thumb-widths above the first crease of your wrist
- Transway is now in place and will remain effective until the end of your trip
- For best results, we recommend placing Transway on both wrists

What are the recommendations:
- Do not use Transway for symptoms that persist outside of travel periods without consulting your doctor.
- Be sure to use the user’s thumb width as a guide for positioning.
- The margin of error must not exceed half a centimeter when positioning the cone.
- After removing Transway, it is normal to experience slight redness or a small indentation in the skin where the massage cone was placed.
- Since bracelets or watches may get in the way, you should remove them, loosen them, or roll up sleeves that are too tight.
- Transway should not be used on children under 3 years of age due to the size of the device and the sensitivity of their skin, nor should it be used on skin that is inflamed, allergic, or injured.
