Acupressure
A combination of acupressure and traditional home remedies can help relieve vomiting. Acupressure may address the root cause of the vomiting and other symptoms. It is easy to learn, inexpensive, and can be done anywhere.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), vomiting is generally considered a yin condition caused by an excess of yin energy in the body. The yin energy is stored in the stomach, which is connected to the heart by the pericardium meridian. The heart’s function is to regulate the blood, which transports nutrients to all organs via the twelve regular meridians, including the stomach meridian. If this pattern becomes imbalanced, it can result in vomiting.
The most important point on the stomach meridian for treating vomiting is ST-25 (Zhong Wan), located on the lower lip between the nose and mouth. Applying pressure to this point with your thumb or index finger for 5 minutes can activate its functions and help relieve vomiting symptoms easily and quickly.
