A TENS machine can be used to treat
nausea by placing the black electrodes
over an easily found acupuncture
point. If you turn your hand palm up
you will notice that there are two or
three skin ceases where the wrist
bends. Place the black electrode so
that its centre is approximately 2inch
above the middle of the crease which
is closest to the hand. The red
electrode may be placed 6inch higher
or over the fleshy part of the hand just
below the thumb.

Electronic muscle stimulator (EMS) units use
continuous electrical bursts aimed at
particular muscles to force them to contract
and relax. During muscle stimulation the
body sends blood and oxygen to these areas
and increases production of endorphins.
Electronic muscle stimulator units are
regularly used for Training, Rehabilitation
and Recovery.
