Acupuncture typically is not used for motion sickness. Imagine rocking on a boat or driving on a windy mountain road and trying to get an acupuncture treatment -- it's not practical or likely to happen.

A related concept, Acupressure (which is short for "accurate pressure"), is when you apply direct pressure to certain acupuncture points on the body. There are no needles involved and it's easy to do on the go, especially when you use an acupressure wristband. The motion sickness band approach allows you to apply constant pressure to provide the best nausea relief.

Where can you get a wristband with acupuncture needles in it?

I don't think they make wrist bands with acupuncture needles. They have ones with magnets that can be used in a point for motion sickness. Or most acupuncturists will have press tacks which are small acupuncture needles that go on like a band-aid.
