It involves placing physical pressure, by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices, on different pressure points on the surface of the body (which may be far distant from the symptom) to bring about relief through greater balance and flow of the energies in the body (Qi).

An acupressure wristband to relieve the symptoms of motion sickness and other forms of nausea is available.
