Many people experience nausea and vomiting which is unpleasant and can delay your recovery and going home from hospital. Up to 1 in every 2 people who have an operation will experience either nausea (feeling sick), or vomiting (being sick). For others, even if they are not having an operation, some drugs can cause nausea and/or vomiting. This is normally treated with anti-sickness medication, however, we can also offer treatment with an acupuncture pin called an Acupin.
This information explains what an Acupin is, how we use it and will answer some of the more common questions about the Acupin. If after reading this, you are still unsure, or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask one of the Nurses.
