Q In what order does the clinic treat nausea?
A We first screen for danger signs, then press the abdomen and read the pulse to see how stiff the stomach is. Next we restore its movement, clear what has accumulated, help the irritated lining recover, and settle the over-sensitised nerves. Acupuncture and moxibustion release the stiff upper abdomen, with herbal medicine matched to your state.
Detailed Answer
Nausea is one of the first symptoms to respond once the downward force of the stomach returns, so early treatment is weighted towards restoring that flow. For those whose symptoms rise and fall with tension, the stage of settling the autonomic nervous system takes a larger share.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The order matters. Clearing while movement is still dead only drains energy, and suppressing the nerves while the waste remains brings the problem back quickly.
