Patent ID: 7489973

Claim:
A method of controlling nausea and vomiting in a patient using a pericardium meridian stimulator comprising a negative electrode and a positive electrode, said electrodes housed in a wrist band-type apparatus, said method comprising the steps of: locating the pericardium meridian six point and the pericardium meridian seven point on the ventral side of the wrist of the patient, wherein the distance between said points varies among patients; positioning the negative electrode on the pericardium meridian six point and adjusting the distance of the positive electrode from the negative electrode to position said positive electrode on the pericardium meridian seven point, and, delivering electric power simultaneously at the pericardium meridian six point and at the pericardium meridian seven point through the negative electrode and the positive electrode respectively, wherein the power supplied to the electrodes is displayed on a monitor of a liquid crystal display whereby an electro-generated stimulus is generated along the pericardium meridian between the pericardium six point and the pericardium seven point.
