🌿 Essential Oils for Vomiting and Nausea Relief
Natural Aromatherapy Support for Digestive Discomfort
As more people seek natural, non-pharmaceutical options for health and wellness, essential oils are becoming a popular remedy for managing nausea and vomiting. Used in aromatherapy, these plant-based oils may offer gentle digestive support by calming the nervous system and easing physical tension.
In this guide, we’ll explore how essential oils may help reduce vomiting, how to use them safely, and offer DIY blend recipes for home use.
💡 How Do Essential Oils Help with Vomiting?
Essential oils work through aromatic and topical application, influencing the nervous system via the olfactory pathways. This connection between scent and brain chemistry may help reduce nausea by affecting the part of the brain responsible for vomiting reflexes.
Some studies, such as those cited by the University of Minnesota, suggest that certain essential oil scents may help trigger positive sensory responses and ease nausea. While more research is still needed, many users report relief from digestive distress using aromatherapy.
