Relieve Morning Sickness fast with this point!

Pericardium 6 (PC 6), called 'Nei Guan' in Chinese, is one of the most famous point for any type of nausea: morning sickness, car sickness, and sea sickness.

How does it work?

PC 6 works because it influences the flow of Qi; the body’s energy. In the digestive tract, the Qi is supposed to flow downwards. Nausea and hiccups are disharmonies when the Qi flows upward. Gently massaging this point helps the Qi to flow down.

Location:

To locate PC 6 hold your hand palm side up. The point is on the center line of your forearm, two thumb widths up (towards your elbow) from the wrist crease.​

Is it safe for pregnancy?

Yes! Definitely! f you press on that spot strongly on a pregnant woman, she should feel quite a relieving sensation. It should take away the nausea within seconds, or at least lower the sensation of nausea.

How to Massage:

Often with nausea, this point will feel quite tender. Massage in gentle circles. At first do not press too hard because this can occasionally make the nausea worse. If you or the person you are helping is comfortable, you can press harder. Rub for 30 seconds to two minutes. Acupressure works quite fast, usually withing a minute or two, to soothe the stomach. You may need to repeat often for car or sea sickness.

What else is it used for?

As the pericardium surrounds the heart, PC6 is also great for any heart-related issues such as heart pain, stuffy chest, palpitations: however, if you are experiencing those symptoms it is best to talk to your GP about it.
