Point Location
An empirical point for nausea and vomiting.
Acupressure Technique
This may be used for sensations ranging from mild feelings of nausea through to vomiting.
Place pressure on the point, holding until effective, usually within five minutes. Pressure can be used on either wrists, or only one, whatever is more practical.
It is possible to buy wristbands that apply pressure to this point. These are available through chemists sold as a remedy for motion sickness. Here in New Zealand they are termed Sea Bands.
Alternately people can easily construct their own. Form a wristband with elastic, and sew onto it a rounded mushroom shaped button. Wear it with the rounded edge pressing onto the skin. Take care that once in place, the pressure exerted on the skin is firm but not uncomfortable.
