3. Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective and natural treatment of nausea. It is widely used in China and other parts around the world. Small needles are inserted in pressure points of the body. Certain pressure points can cause nausea. The needles can help relieve nausea when they are placed in these spots. The needles stimulate nerves which send messages to your brain.
Acupuncture can provide relief for many people with chronic nausea. The side effects are very rare, but there may be some discomfort, pain and numbness. Infections can occur, but are extremely rare. Acupuncture is safe to use with other nausea medications and won’t interfere with other medications that you may take for other reasons.
Before starting any new treatment, it’s a good idea for you to consult your doctor. Acupuncture does not work for everyone, and it doesn’t treat every type of nausea.
