Acupuncture: The practice of acupuncture originated in China 5,000 years ago. Today, acupuncture is widely used throughout the world and is one of the main pillars of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Evidence from several small studies supports the use of acupuncture at a specific point on the wrist (P6) to help chemotherapy patients reduce nausea and vomiting. Also, several well-designed studies support the use of acupuncture at the P6 wrist point for control of pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. Evidence supports acupuncture at the wrist P6 point for the relief of post-operative nausea and vomiting in adults.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
