When California moms Carla
Falcone and Romy Taormina were pregnant, each suffered with
terrible nausea. They didn’t want to take drugs. But
"other options were limited," Romy recalls. They
eventually found relief in a surprising way –- through acupressure,
a 5,000 year-old practice of applying pressure to certain parts of
the body to relieve pain or discomfort. Once their queasiness
faded, they set out to create an acupressure bracelet that would
help other women suffering in the same way. They call their product
"Psi" (pronounced "sigh") bands.

For as long as I can remember, my son has been what my mother calls
"an urper." Especially on planes. Or in the car. Or when
the stroller was trucking along too fast through the neighborhood.
It's not a huge deal, not any kind of medical crisis, but it is
something we've either had to prepare well for or deal with
accordingly.
