Epidurals make me very sick and after this worked the first time I have used it every other time I have had nausea. It has prevented vomitting and relieved nausea everytime whether it be from epidurals, post operations, stomach virus, motion sickness or side effects from medication. I have had times in past years when even otc medications have failed, so I have shared this with numerous friends and family. Finally an easy, cheap, fast and effective solution!

I've been in the post surgical setting all this time and never heard of that. Even as a psychosomatic placebo effect it's got a leg up on all antiemetics that I hate giving because they either snow or make my patients loony. :) I'll have to try that one next time. Hrmm.
