Alternative
Lemon Aromatherapy
for Nausea
Inhaling lemon essential oil or fresh lemon scent as an adjunct approach to relieve nausea, particularly studied in pregnancy-related nausea.
How it works
Proposed activation of olfactory serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways involved in nausea regulation, and possibly CNS relaxation effects. Mechanism is not fully established.
What to watch for
Effect size is modest. Best used as an adjunct alongside evidence-based approaches. Some individuals with scent sensitivities may find strong odours worsen nausea.
