Pressure Points for Nausea & Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting represent rebellious stomach qi rising upward. In TCM, this is related to spleen-stomach weakness, dietary irregularities, emotional disturbance, or external pathogen invasion. Acupressure can regulate the ascending and descending functions of the spleen and stomach to relieve nausea, and is particularly effective for morning sickness, motion sickness, and post-operative nausea.
