Acupressure Point of the Month

Traveling this summer? Plane rides or out on a boat? Pericardium 6, or PC6, is good for motion sickness, nausea and vomiting. It is also helpful at calming the mind and reducing anxiety and nervousness. Putting some gentle pressure or massage at this point can help alleviate these symptoms or keep them from coming on.

It can be easily located at three fingers-width above the wrist crease between the tendons. See the picture to the upper right.
