The use of Sea bands for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is an example of acupressure. Sea bands apply physical pressure to specific points along meridians. Acupuncture uses fine needles, not Sea bands. Therapeutic touch involves the practitioner's hands being placed a few inches above the physical body. Tai chi is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses movement to work with the chi, or the conversion of matter to energy or energy to matter in the body.
