Essential Oil Treatments for Nausea

Nausea is the feeling of sickness, typically preceding or leading to vomiting. It is a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments. Basil has proven extremely effective in overcoming nausea, even that caused by chemotherapy, in some cases even more so than prescription drugs.

Ginger and peppermint are two of the oldest and best remedies for relieving nausea, including morning and motion sickness – Lancet, a British medical journal, even reports that ginger is more effective at preventing motion sickness than some popular drugs. Ginger can be eaten, drunk in a tea, or used in a massage oil.
