Smell rubbing alcohol/alcohol prep pads to instantly relieve nausea!

Interesting, tell me more @megsnp I don’t know what alcohol prep pads are

Acupressure can also be used to quell nausea.

The Neiguan (P6) point, located on the inner forearm about three finger-widths (index finger + middle finger + ring finger) from the wrist crease between the central tendons, is commonly used to reduce nausea and vomiting. Stimulating P6 by applying firm pressure or circular massage for several minutes can help relieve nausea from motion sickness, postoperative nausea, chemotherapy, pregnancy-related nausea, and other causes in many people.

• Technique: press with thumb or finger firmly (not painful), hold or massage in small circles for 2–5 minutes; repeat every few hours as needed.
• Intensity: firm and steady pressure; should feel pressure but not sharp pain.
• The method I use to locate this point may differ somewhat from other depictions of this method. Other methods may place the point closer to the wrist crease. To find the best location for you, Move your pressing thumb or finger to where the point being pressed feels most sensitive.
