A Finger on the Nausea Point

Nausea is a well known feeling. It can occur after a heavy meal, during pregnancy, a side-effect of some medication or motion sickness while on a ship/ plane or one of those windy roads in the mountains.

In Chinese medicine, nausea is triggered by so-called ‘rebellious’ Qi (energy). Nausea (similar to belching, hiccups, and acid reflux) is digestive energy that stagnates or even moves in the wrong direction, namely back upwards. It ‘rebels’ against the designated downward direction.

Now, if you can’t get an acupuncture/herbal treatment that focuses on calming and redirecting your digestive Qi because you are sitting in an airplane? - Use acupressure!

How to do it:

Find the point which is located just three finger-breadth above the crease on the inside of your wrist;

Gently put light pressure or massage the point for a couple of minutes (don’t press down with the nail, but with the soft pad of the finger)

You should feel better soon ❤
