Use acupressure. Place your right index finger on the underside of your left wrist, about 1 1/2 inches from your hand. Apply moderate pressure for two to three minutes. Because pressure points are very small, it make take you a few times to locate the exact spot on your wrist. This form of acupressure can be repeated as needed. Another pressure point that may help relieve nausea is located between the thumb and forefinger. Again, moderate pressure for two to three minutes should help relieve that queasy feeling.
