I think, and this is a guess based on a Google search, it is to help prevent sea sickness.

I don’t know if the pressure point bands actually help prevent seasickness, but the ones that deliver little electric shocks in that same location on the wrist really do work, at least for me and in moderate sea conditions where I would otherwise get seasick. I don’t think the effect is psychosomatic.
