This accupressure can usually stop the nausea after it has started, which most other easily obtainable cures will not. They are used for sea sickness and general motion sickness.
You can make something similar out of bungee cord and a nut for a screw (one for each wrist). Or you can do it to yourself using a finger on each hand to press the opposite wrist. Put gentle but firm pressure on the inside of the arm about three finger widths towards your elbow from the crease between your palm and wrist. Apply the pressure between the two tendons in the center of your arm running parallel to the arm. There usually is a vein at this point that will just be visible. Hold for a few minutes but be warned - the nausea often comes back when you take the pressure off. Just keep the pressure on to remain nausea free. Easier done with the bands.
Hope you overcome this hammocking challenge. Welcome to the forum.
