5. Acupressure

Acupressure, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, is a massage technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body known as acupoints. This practice helps relax muscles and improve blood flow. One acupoint that is particularly effective for relieving nausea is P6. Located on the inner arm near the wrist, it’s easy to find and use.

To locate P6, place three fingers across your wrist, just below the crease. Position your thumb just below your index finger, and remove the other fingers while keeping your thumb in place. You should feel two tendons with a small gap between them—this is P6. Apply firm, steady pressure in a circular motion for two to three minutes, being careful not to press so hard that it causes pain. Repeat the process on the opposite wrist for balanced relief.
