Acupressure Points For Nausea & Vomiting Relief

Can acupressure relieve nausea? It only takes minutes to find out!

There are all sorts of reasons why you might be feeling nauseas. You might be sick with a serious flu. You might be the victim of food poisoning. You might have indigestion from something bad you ate. Or maybe you’re car or sea sick.

Regardless of the cause of your nausea, acupressure is here to help.

Acupressure works by stimulating the life energy that flows through the meridians within your inner energy body. As the flow of this energy is restored to its proper balance, physical symptoms of injury and illness tend to subside.

For many acupressure users out there, these physical symptoms include nausea.

Nausea is often caused by emotional reactions as well. It may be the result of extreme anxiety or nervousness. In this case, I believe that acupressure would be even more effective at relieving it, because energy healing techniques like acupressure tend to be super effective at relieving emotional distress.

Another contributor to nausea can be muscle tension that accumulates in and around the stomach. Acupressure can help relax the body and muscular system, leading to nausea relief.

Let’s take a look at the acupressure points that will be most effective at getting rid of your feelings of nausea.
