How many books do you have and where can we find them?

Morning sickness is just the tip of the nauseated iceburg, yet it was that problem which lead to the creation of Psi Bands.
Romy Taormina and Carla Falcone were pregnant and suffered from morning sickness. When they discovered the positive effects of acupressure on nausea, both women knew something had to be done. The products on the market just did not fit what they were looking for, so they created their own solution instead.
Using an acupressure point to help relieve the feelings of nausea, Psi Bands are stylish and …
