Acupuncture is becoming popular among GPs to help relieve morning sickness for pregnant women, a study shows.
It is hoped the findings will give wider recognition of the medical benefits of the ancient Chinese art.
The research follows a previous study which showed acupuncture's success in treating sickness in women recovering from breast surgery, including mastectomies.
"Our results have shown that as little as one acupuncture treatment can significantly change the way these women feel," said research co-ordinator Dr Caroline Smith.
Winter is fast approaching! There's no avoiding it! The acupuncture collective recommends surrendering to the inevitable - and if that proves tricky then we're here to help. Acupuncture has been used for hundreds of years to help the bodies energy adjust to the changes of season. Any early signs of cold; sore throats, sniffles and the likes, can often be easily taken care of with acupuncture especially in the early stages. So don't let it linger!
