Needle PC6, CV12, ST36 and SP4 with reducing method. PC6 is manipulated first, and the patient is observed while the needle is retained.
Vomiting: Stomach Qi Rebelling Upward
Harmonise the stomach, descend rebellion and stop vomiting. For nausea and vomiting from any cause.
POINT SELECTION
RATIONALE
PC6 is the point of choice for nausea of any origin and is placed before the others; CV12 harmonises the middle; ST36 descends stomach qi; SP4, the confluent point of the Penetrating Vessel, addresses counterflow from the abdomen. The prescription descends rather than sedates, which is why it works across dissimilar causes.

NOTE
