I've first heard of acupuncture during my first year in nursing. But i didn't push through with that course due to some problems. Oh well, that's another story.
Anyways, I have seen people undergo this kind of treatment but only on TV, even Korina Sanchez. I am afraid of needles and I just can't stand watching them with those needles. But i know how acupuncture works. It was proven and tested to cure certain illnesses or health problems. As I've read in my fave mag, most of us actually wouldn't volunteer for even more needles when in hospital, but a new study has found that acupuncture is just as effective as anti-sickness drugs in preventing nausea and vomiting after surgery.
Without treatment, four out of five people who have had an anesthetic suffer from nausea and vomiting after going under the knife. The study done in a university in Hong Kong and Sydney, found that stimulating the pericardium, or P6, acupuncture point in the wrist was just as effective as common anti-sickness drugs. Better yet, it is cheap, safe, has a fewer side effects and doesn't taste bad.
So what do you think? Would you prefer giving your nausea the needle?
