Acupuncture Treatment For Post-Surgery Nausea And Vomiting

Acupuncture could hold the key in treating patients with nausea and vomiting, particularly after going through surgery, according to a study published by acupuncture and traditional medicine resource TCMDirectory.com (www.tcmdirectory.com).

(21 April 2009) - - Acupuncture could hold the key to preventing nausea and sickness, according to a study into the benefits of acupuncture published by online Chinese medicine resource TCMDirectory.com (www.tcmdirectory.com).

According to the study, pressuring the P6 point on the wrist can have a dramatic effect on postoperative nausea, suffered by some 80% of patients undergoing surgery, to provide a cost effective, safe way to improve the lives of patients.

Elie Goldschmidt of TCMDirectory.com believes the breakthrough will ultimately see acupuncture become more of a staple in mainstream medicine, as the medical profession wakes up to the benefits of traditional treatments and remedies.

“Our study confirms the latest findings by The Cochrane Collaboration, that acupuncture can have a positive impact on patients suffering from postoperative nausea and vomiting. By safely stimulating the P6 point in the wrist, patients can see a real decline in feelings of sickness, as the brain releases serotonin and dopamine which combat nausea-inducing chemicals in the body.”
