Stimulation of Acupoints Is Effective for Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting.

Anyone out there get nauseated post-anesthesia? I do, and acupuncture has always been helpful for me. I can't count the number of times I've recommended it.

A new review of 40 existing studies affirms my recommendation and finds that indeed, it does work. As a matter of fact, we don't even need to use needles, acupressure will do the job just as well (for this condition, anyway.)

Next time you're in, ask me about this point, in my experience it's great for most kinds of nausea, not only post operative.

In Health,
Dr. Samantha
