Relieve Nausea

Some folks try essential oils to tame queasiness from pregnancy, chemotherapy, and indigestion.

Peppermint Essential Oil and ginger essential oil, for example, are often used for digestive discomfort, including nausea. According to a review published in March 2018 in Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, peppermint relaxes gastrointestinal muscles and lowers inflammation that worsens nausea.

Ginger, on the other hand, encourages the digestive process, preventing food from lingering in your gastrointestinal tract, which can sometimes cause nausea, according to research.

Research suggests that these physiological interactions of essential oils and the gut may have real-world benefits.

For example, a study published in September 2020 in the Journal of Holistic Nursing revealed that inhaling Peppermint Oil led to significant reductions in nausea and vomiting among hospitalized patients. The results were comparable to those seen by patients who used aromatherapy and an anti-emetic (anti-nausea) medication. However, patients were allowed to choose which experimental group they wanted to be part of, which may have skewed the results if patients expected their treatment to work.

Research on the effects of inhaling ginger are less promising. In a study, women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer saw only slight improvements in nausea and none in vomiting after inhaling ginger essential oil.
