Acupuncture for Hangovers
Acupuncture for Nausea, Morning Sickness & Hangover
More than 30 controlled studies have been published showing that acupuncture point stimulation can treat or prevent nausea and vomiting.
Acupressure massage can also relieve nausea. Some practitioners prescribe acupressure bracelets, which apply pressure to certain points without the use of needles. And patients can be instructed to apply acupressure themselves to help reduce nausea.
