Nausea & Vomitting

Generally, eastern medicine explains the cause of nausea as weakness in the body’s internal system. To treat nausea, acupuncture works to strengthen individual organs, boost immunity, and encourage even blood circulation throughout the body. By not overeating, practicing good digestion techniques (eg. slow chewing), and receiving acupuncture treatment to strengthen the body’s internal system, nausea can be treated and prevented.
