Ginger Essential Oil Benefits

Ginger Oil for Nausea

Ginger can settle your digestive upset in a variety of circumstances like travel and car sickness, as well as indigestion and overeating. It can also calm cramping and muscle spasms.

A study was done on the effectiveness of inhaling ginger after surgery, here is the conclusion:

"Findings indicate that ginger essential oil inhalation has implications for alleviating postoperative nausea and vomiting in abdominal surgery patients."

When applied to the abdomen, the warming qualities also helps with any belly aches and pain.

You don't need a lot of ginger as it is very aromatic and potent. Plus, if using topically, too much can irritate the skin. Be sure to dilute with a carrier oil first before applying to the skin.

How to Use Ginger Essential Oil for Nausea with DIY Recipes

Ginger is a well-known remedy for nausea and vomiting. While fresh ginger is often used in cooking, ginger essential oil can be an effective way to treat nausea when you're not feeling well.

Ginger oil has a warm, spicy aroma that can help to stimulate the digestive system. In addition, it may also help to ease feelings of anxiety or stress that can contribute to nausea.

Here are a few ways you can use ginger essential oil for nausea relief.

1. Inhale Ginger Oil

Apply one drop of ginger eo to palm, rub palms together, then bring to nose and inhale the aroma. You can also create an easy aromatherapy inhaler.

 Aroma Inhaler Nausea Blend Recipe

  • 4 drops Spearmint oil
  • 2 drops Ginger oil
  • 2 drops Cardamom oil
  • 2 drops Lavender oil
  • Blank Inhaler

Directions: Add essential oil drops to cotton wick and place into inhaler and assemble inhaler.

 

2. Diffuser Jewelry

3. Soothing Bath

A soak in a soothing bath can be just what you need to settle your abdominal discomfort.

I like to use it with lavender essential oil because lavender is very calming and soothing too. Plus lavender has a gentle nature and is skin nourishing so it mixes nicely with ginger, which I mentioned can be skin irritating.

Applying essential oils directly where you need them is a fast way to reap the benefits they have to offer. So when you feel nauseated it is usually felt in your belly, that is why you would want to apply it there.

Try this easy recipe to apply directly to belly. You can also apply this on your chest so you will get the full benefits of inhaling the ginger oil too. 

 Simple Diy Ginger Blend for Nausea

Where to Apply Ginger Oil for Nausea?

Ginger oil has been found to relieve nausea when applied topically to the abdomen and absorbed through the skin. The effects can also be experienced when it's inhaled, or diffused in the air.

Ginger oil is known for its stomach-settling aromatics, which make it a popular choice for alleviating nausea and its uncomfortable symptoms, such as abdominal tension and dizziness. Apply ginger oil to entire abdomen after diluting with a carrier oil or a blend of carrier oils.

Used aromatically and topically, ginger oil can quickly soothe those symptoms and provide relief. Whether at home or in the office, applying Ginger Oil could be an easy way to safely reduce feelings of nausea.
