pain. Without tradi-
tional medications,
pain increases, and
nausea would only
get worse.
• Acupuncture and
acupressure. These
ancient Eastern medi-
cines are evidence-
based and less expen-
sive alternatives to
traditional antiemet-
ics that are often inef-
fective or not appro-
priate for use with
some patients. Worse,
they can produce side
effects that require
additional drugs to
manage, all on top of
the anesthesia and
pain medications that
are already taxing
patients' kidneys and
livers.
The most common
acupuncture point is
the Pericardium 6
(PC6) near the wrist.
