Nausea and acupuncture
Wrist points have a reputation — what the evidence supports, and what I will not treat with optimism.
Symptoms and what they can mean
Queasiness that follows migraine, medicines, or early pregnancy. Dehydration and weight loss change the urgency.
What we can do in clinic
PC6 and related approaches are used a lot for nausea. Pregnancy treatment is adapted and some points are avoided. Tell me if you are or might be pregnant.
Red flags and when to see your GP
Vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, or a pregnant person who cannot keep fluids — medical, same day.
