Managing Nausea Naturally: Pulse Based Acupuncture Insights
Nausea can strike suddenly during stressful moments, after meals, in the morning, or as part of an ongoing health condition. While medication may offer short-term relief, many people continue to struggle with recurring nausea that disrupts work, appetite, sleep, and daily comfort.
At George Monkhouse Acupuncture in London, advanced pulse diagnosis offers a deeper understanding of why nausea occurs. By identifying the root imbalance behind the symptom whether digestive, hormonal, emotional, or energetic acupuncture can help restore balance and calm the stomach naturally.
Understanding Nausea in Chinese Medicine
In Chinese medicine, nausea is not viewed as a stand-alone issue but as a disruption in the harmony between the Stomach, Spleen, Liver, and Kidney systems. These organ networks regulate digestion, emotional balance, and fluid movement.
Common underlying patterns behind nausea include:
Stomach Qi rebellion, causing the stomach energy to move upward instead of downward
Spleen Qi deficiency, leading to bloating, fatigue, and poor digestion
Liver Qi stagnation, often triggered by stress or emotional tension
Phlegm or damp accumulation, creating heaviness, nausea, and dizziness
Stomach heat, causing burning sensations, thirst, and irritability
Kidney imbalance, associated with morning sickness or chronic nausea
Understanding which of these patterns is responsible is essential for long-term relief.
How Pulse Diagnosis Identifies the Root Cause
Pulse diagnosis is a highly refined assessment technique that helps George detect subtle patterns behind nausea that might not appear in conventional tests.
By reading over 25 pulse qualities, he can determine:
Whether nausea originates from weak digestion
If stress or emotional strain is disrupting the stomach
Whether dampness or phlegm is obstructing the digestive pathways
If hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menstrual cycles are contributing
How deeply the imbalance affects long-term digestive resilience
This precision allows for a personalised treatment plan that supports the specific digestive and emotional systems involved.
How Acupuncture Helps Relieve Nausea
Acupuncture restores balance by regulating digestive movement, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system.
Key benefits include:
Settling the stomach and reducing the urge to vomit
Regulating Stomach Qi for smoother digestion
Reducing stress triggered nausea
Clearing dampness and phlegm from the digestive tract
Supporting hormonal and emotional balance
Improving appetite and overall digestive comfort
Many patients notice relief within the first few sessions, especially when nausea is linked to stress, pregnancy, or chronic digestive weakness.
A 31-year-old woman came to George with daily nausea worsened by stress and irregular eating patterns. She had tried dietary adjustments and medication, but symptoms persisted for over a year.
Pulse diagnosis revealed:
Stomach Qi rebellion
Liver Qi stagnation from prolonged emotional stress
Mild dampness affecting the middle digestive pulse
Her treatment plan focused on calming the stomach, supporting digestion, and easing emotional tension.
After three sessions, her nausea episodes became less frequent and less intense. After six weeks, she reported stable digestion, reduced stress, and feeling normal again for the first time in months.
Nausea is rarely just a stomach issue. It is often a reflection of deeper imbalance. Acupuncture and pulse diagnosis offer a natural and intelligent way to uncover the root cause, calm the digestive system, and restore long-term comfort and stability.
