Relieve Nausea By Pressing On The Inside Of Your Wrist

If you’re prone to motion sickness, need some morning sickness relief, or are dealing with nausea for another reason, try this quick acupressure technique.

Preventions writes that this health trick has been shown in 40 studies to effectively reduce nausea from motion sickness. The technique is to:

Press between the two tendons on the inside of your wrist, about three finger breadths below the base of your palm

Healthy and sustainable living blog WakoWa Salon advises you relax your arms and shoulders while doing this. Try it for about 30 seconds and you may feel immediately better, but some people may need several minutes. This technique may also help relieve anxiety.

You could buy a wrist band with a button designed to apply pressure to this point, but this is a quick trick you can apply whenever nausea strikes.
