While PC6 acupressure is generally safe, there are some precautions to consider:
Skin Integrity: Ensure the skin at the site is intact and free from infection or irritation before applying pressure. Proper Technique: Incorrect stimulation can cause discomfort or bruising. Nurses should be trained in proper acupressure techniques. Patient Conditions: Patients with certain conditions like severe cardiac issues should consult with their healthcare provider before using acupressure.
