Stop the Gag Reflex with Acupressure

The gag reflex is a term used to describe an unpleasant, involuntary contraction of the back of the throat. It can be stimulated not only by touching the back of the throat but also by touching the roof of the mouth, the back of the tongue, or the area around the tonsils.

About 37% of healthy adults do not have a gag reflex at all according to a study published in the Lancet .
