此配方針對「胃氣上逆」的核心機制，同時兼顧健脾益氣，以平衡身體對妊娠荷爾蒙的反應。
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), or severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, is attributed in TCM to the failure of Stomach Qi to descend (Qi Rebellion), often coupled with Spleen Deficiency. The combination of PC6, ST36, and CV13 synergistically addresses both the acute symptom (vomiting) and the constitutional root (Spleen/Stomach weakness).
妊娠惡阻（HG），即懷孕期間嚴重的噁心嘔吐，中醫歸因於胃氣不能下降（胃氣上逆），常伴隨脾胃虛弱。**內關**、**足三里**和**上脘**的組合，能協同作用，同時治療急性症狀（嘔吐）和體質根源（脾胃虛弱）。
-
**Neiguan (PC6):** The most validated acupoint for nausea. Its stimulation is believed to modulate the **Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS)** and **Vomiting Center** in the brainstem.
**內關（PC6）：** 止吐最有效的穴位。刺激此穴被認為可調節腦幹中的**孤束核（NTS）**和**嘔吐中樞**。
-
Mechanism: Regulates gastrointestinal motility and suppresses the visceral afferent signals that trigger the vomiting reflex, effectively reducing the frequency and severity of emesis.
機制：調節胃腸蠕動，抑制引發嘔吐反射的內臟傳入訊號，有效降低嘔吐的頻率和嚴重程度。
-
**Zusanli (ST36):** Supports the body’s baseline energy (Qi) and strengthens Spleen function, ensuring adequate post-vomiting recovery and absorption. Its local stimulation helps harmonize gastric acid secretion.
**足三里（ST36）：** 補益身體基礎正氣，強化脾胃功能，確保嘔吐後的恢復和吸收。局部刺激有助於協調胃酸分泌。
-
**Shangwan (CV13):** Located directly on the epigastrium. It is the intersection point of the Ren, Stomach, and Small Intestine Meridians, directly regulating the stomach’s descending function and eliminating food stagnation (if present).
**上脘（CV13）：** 位於上腹部正中。為任脈、胃經、小腸經交會穴，直接調節胃腑的降逆功能，並消除（若有）飲食積滯。
-
Acupuncture, especially the combination of abdominal and limb points, is demonstrated to stabilize the autonomic nervous system, reducing sympathetic hyperactivity often associated with severe HG symptoms.
針刺，特別是腹部與肢體穴位的組合，被證實可以穩定自主神經系統，減少與嚴重 HG 症狀相關的交感神經過度興奮。
-
By regulating Qi flow across the body, this prescription assists the pregnant body in adapting to high levels of pregnancy hormones (hCG and Estrogen) which are implicated in the etiology of HG.
透過調和全身氣機，此配穴有助於孕體適應高水平的妊娠荷爾蒙（hCG 和雌激素），這些荷爾蒙被認為與 HG 的病因相關。
The strategy of coupling PC6 (Acute relief/Neuro-modulation) with ST36 (Constitutional Tonification) and CV13 (Direct Gastric Regulation) provides a safe, effective, and multi-layered approach to managing the debilitating symptoms of Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
將**內關**（急性緩解/神經調節）與**足三里**（體質補益）和**上脘**（直接胃腑調控）結合的策略，為治療妊娠惡阻的衰弱症狀提供了一個安全、有效且多層次的方法。
