How to Relieve Nausea with Acupressure

-
-

Stop that horrible sensation with a form of traditional Chinese medicine known as acupressure.

Warning
If you feel pain when using acupressure, stop immediately. Pregnant women should not use acupressure.

Step 1: Press near your wrist
Take one of your thumbs and press it on the inside of the opposite wrist, between the two large tendons, about three-quarters of an inch below the point where your inner wrist meets your hand. This targets acupressure point PC 6, also known as Nei Guan, which affects nausea.

Tip
You can also press this point to relieve motion sickness.

Step 2: Keep the pressure on
Keep the pressure on for about a minute, and then move your thumb up to where your wrist meets your palm and press for another few seconds.

Step 3: Get a band
Find wristbands that press on the anti-nausea pressure point online or in some pharmacies. It's a hands-free way of achieving the same results.

Did You Know?
Several studies have debunked the myth that women who have severe morning sickness more often give birth to girls.

Another great tutorial by Howcast. I have emetophobia, so feelings that are normal feel worse for me. This helped me relax and get rid of them. Thank you :)

This really worked for me, use to get sea sick until I used those wrist bands.

An organic tea called No to morning sickness tea was the great help that eased my morning sickness all in a sudden and it has no side effects, so I love the tea.

Any supporting information as to why you say pregnant women shouldn’t use acupressure? Many are in fact using it with great success, so some evidence as to why pregnant women shouldn’t use acupressure will be very helpful..x

Why pregnant women should not use it? I have seen other videos recommend it to relief the morning sickness during pregnancy !

Okay I know this sounds crazy but I need serious help. For the past 2 weeks I have been feeling intense nausea, I clearly know I do not have the stomach flu or anything like that. Honestly the cause is I keep worrying if I am going to throw up that it actually causes me to get this nausea. The more I try not to think of it I think of it more, I ran out of options and I do not know what to do, help please I need to end this I am starting to miss out on school and my grades are horrible at this point.

Couldn't concentrate music is distracting.

[Lizalotte]

Background music is not helpful, calming music much better when you are feeling nauseous!
