Acupressure, a method developed in traditional Chinese medicine which puts continuous pressure on specific body areas without needles, has been explored as a way to help with nausea and vomiting—though the research is limited.
- Motion sickness bands that apply pressure to the P6 pressure point on your wrists have been studied for their potential to reduce the severity of nausea and the frequency of vomiting in pregnancy.
- Auricular pressure (including use of ear seeds) involves applying pressure to key points in the ear, which were shown in a randomized double-blind study to provide a sense of relief for some participants for nausea, although it did not provide relief for vomiting.
