Nausea or upset stomach can be very annoying. These complaints can be treated with kinesiology tape. The tape then gives off a stimulus which causes a decrease in tissue tension in the stomach zone. As a result, the complaints will decrease or even disappear.

Cut two strips that are the same length.
Place the tape on the sword-shaped fastener on the lower sternum and place it on the lower rib.

This is fluid that fills an empty space due to the occurrence of the operation on the breast. By using tape, the drainage of moisture will run better.
