Families plan trips, but many of us have problems with motion sickness and are often accompanied by vomiting, and pressing ear acupuncture points can be very effective for motion sickness and vomiting. What causes motion sickness and vomiting? Motion sickness has a lot to do with the vestibular balance organ of the body. The vestibular organ is an important organ for maintaining the body’s balance function. When a car starts, runs or brakes, the human vestibule is stimulated, and people who get carsick are prone to vestibular imbalance, which then causes phytodysfunction, and the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines become spasmodic or retrograde peristaltic, resulting in vomiting. In addition, there are some receptors on the lining of the stomach, and these receptors will be pulled during the movement of the car, which will also cause the smooth muscle of the stomach and intestines to reverse peristalsis and vomiting. Which auricular point is the most effective to stop vomiting? The auricular stomach point, located where the foot of the ear chakra disappears, is an acupuncture point that causes significant pressure pain during stomach cramps. It is important to note that ear points are usually an area rather than a point. A careful search with a probe or fingertip within this area will reveal a point with more intense pressure pain, and this is the point we are looking for. Ear acupuncture point pressure technique: To stimulate the “stomach”, use the fingertips to press vertically on the acupuncture point with a small to large force that can be tolerated by people who suffer from motion sickness. Keep pressing on one side of the point for 3-5 minutes, then rest for 2 minutes and press again or change the point on the other side of the ear. Be careful not to pinch with your fingernails when pressing to avoid skin breakage, and do not rub after pressing. Reaction after pressing the ear acupuncture point: After pressing the stomach reflex zone, there will first be a very obvious pain in the ear, and the effect will only be seen after the obvious pain is produced. Then, after one or two times of continuous pressure, there will be a feeling of sour water in the stomach or a few sour burps, at which time the feeling of vomiting will be significantly reduced or disappear, marking the release of stomach cramps.
