HARMONISING THE PENETRATING VESSEL IN THE TREATMENT OF MORNING SICKNESS
 By Debra Betts
 Morning sickness is a very common disorder, occurring in up to one half of
 all pregnancies, and recent research has demonstrated the effectiveness of
 individualised over simple (Neiguan P-6 only) and sham acupuncture for
 treating this condition. Despite this, many acupuncturists express a
 reluctance to treat morning sickness, voicing concerns over the safety of
 giving acupuncture treatment in early pregnancy, or past experience of
 disappointing therapeutic results unless treatment was given more
 frequently than was practical for the typical western clinic. Hopefully
 this article will address these concerns and encourage practitioners to
 actively promote treatment for women experiencing nausea and vomiting in
 pregnancy.
