- When it comes to essential oils for nausea, ginger stands out due to its well-known soothing properties. Taking a drop or two of ginger essential oil internally with water can effectively help reduce occasional feelings of nausea, making it an excellent companion to carry with you for on-the-go relief. Its quick action helps ease discomfort efficiently whenever those queasy moments arise.
- For effective relief using essential oils for nausea, particularly during long car rides or on winding roads, consider diffusing ginger oil in the car’s interior. Alternatively, for direct and immediate benefit, place a single drop of ginger essential oil in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together gently, and then cup them over your nose and mouth to inhale its calming, soothing aroma. This direct inhalation method can quickly help alleviate feelings of motion sickness and discomfort. You can also apply ginger oil topically, diluting it with Fractionated Coconut Oil, as part of a soothing abdominal massage.
- When seeking essential oils for nausea, it’s worth noting that ginger essential oil may also offer benefits for digestive comfort beyond just nausea. Taken internally (diluted in water or in a capsule), it may help reduce feelings of bloating and gas. This particular benefit can be especially helpful to consider before physical activities like a big workout, where pre-existing feelings of bloating or discomfort could hinder performance. Always ensure proper dilution and consult with a healthcare professional before internal use. Before working out, take a drop or two with water or in a doTERRA Veggie Capsule to reduce bloating.
