]]>In some cases, throwing up can actually relieve the symptom. Your body wanted to expel whatever icky thing there was inside you and now that it has, it will settle. But vomiting isn’t always that easy—especially if there’s no bathroom around…
So, what do you do when nasty nausea strikes?
One thing that may help is acupressure. Part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupressure is similar to acupuncture in that it involves stimulating points on the body that are linked to specific ailments. These points are located where blood, nerve, lymph, and connective tissue meet.
If you’re battling nausea, you want to target the Pericardium 6 by using your thumb to stimulate the point inside of the forearm between the two ropey tendons that sit a couple of inches up from the wrist. Apply firm but comfortable pressure. Move your thumb in a circular motion and take 10 deep breaths while applying pressure, then switch and do the other wrist.
Another spot to focus on is known as Stomach 36. This acupoint is actually situated at the top of the shin, a palm’s length below your knee. Use two fingers to apply firm pressure in a circular motion while breathing deeply. Keep rubbing until you feel a release, then repeat on the opposite side.
You should be feeling better in no time.

]]>It’s actually a known thing that nausea can occur after any workout that requires you to push yourself to the limit. It happens because of the blood that’s been pumping throughout your body during the workout. As it gets distributed throughout your muscles, it leaves less blood for your stomach, leaving you to feel a bit nauseous.
Another reason you’re likely feeling nauseous is because you may be doing a workout that you’re not used to. Or perhaps just working out in general is something you’re not used to, and therefore your body feels sick as it reacts to the major changes it’s going through.
It’s also important to not eat right before a workout because this too can contribute to post-workout nausea. Eating a few hours before exercise should be just fine.

]]>This can happen with any workout that requires you to push yourself. While it’s not pleasant, it’s nothing to worry about. The cause is physiological: as your blood starts pumping during the workout, your body distributes it to the muscles, leaving a little for the stomach and making you feel sick.
The most likely situations for feeling nauseated during a workout include doing the work that your body’s not used to. While pushing yourself is important and even necessary in order to progress, you may want to do it gradually if you don’t want to feel sick after every session. When you eat before working out also matters – plan the workout session around 1.5-3 hours after a meal.
