Hold it! What's with the wrist?

I am not sure if this would be useful. Apparently if you are in dire need to visit the restroom, and is caught in a jam, holding the wrist, ie the pulse point where doctors take your pulse, will keep the tummy aches a-bay. That is until you get to a proper place of depository! My dad swore by it. Hehehe! I think holding the wrist would certainly look more dignified than doubling over in pain, especially in a public place!

According to this website, http://www.travelband.com/morning-sickness.htm, which is selling wrist bands for ladies, pressure on the pulse point (wrist, nei kuan) keeps morning sickness away for the expecting ladies.

The above picture showing pressure points on the hand related to the relief of pain is interesting too. This is from the website of American Acupuncture.  (http://www.americanacupuncture.com/ear_ac.htm#meridian_images).

About.com also shared a series of interesting taps on the body's meridian points, including that of the wrists', that you can try at home for the release of unwanted and negative emotions. Check it out at http://healing.about.com/od/esoanat_meridians/ss/mtt-steps_8.htm.
