Acupressure is an age-old practice, think 1000’s of years, of stimulating pressure points throughout the body to alleviate nausea, pain, and illness. for thousands of years. Practitioners believe that stimulating certain nerves using simple pressure on pressure points in the body send signals to the brain that in turn sends hormones to relieve pain and nausea.

These studies found that acupressure as effective as anti-nausea medications and have the added benefit of no adverse side effects.

I like to use an essential oil blend of ginger, peppermint, and cardamom essential oils. I like to use a small stainless steel spray bottle filled 3/4 of the way with distilled water and add 8 drops ginger, 4 drops peppermint and 4 drops of cardamom. Shake well prior to each use.
