Acupuncture works, I am the most sceptical person when it comes to
"alternative remedies" but it really does work and I read somewhere that
the wrist pressure works because it is an acupunture point. You would need
to talk to an acupunture practitioner to get confirmation.
As an example I have a very strong gag reflex and my dentist had to take
some impressions, garunteed to make me gag. She made me press quite hard
on a point centrally under my bottom lip for 90 seconds. I was convinced I
would gag. The impressions were taken with absolutely no problem. It does
work, why I have no idea and the fact that it cannot be scientifically
explained does not alter that fact.

I recently read a report on a large study of acupuncture. There were
two large groups, one being a control group. Both groups improved
significantly. The study group received acupuncture at the
recommended locations by acupuncture experts. The control received the
same treatment except that the sites for the needles were chosen at
random.

While both groups improved there was no significant difference between
the two groups. Sorry I don't remember exactly where I saw the
report.
