Natural Remedy for Nausea and Vomiting
 - Essential Oils are the Perfect Solution!

A natural remedy for nausea and vomiting should include essential oils. They are convenient and easy to use. And perfect for when you have an upset stomach, stomach flu or stomach ache.

Why are Essential Oils a perfect Natural Remedy for Nausea and Vomiting?

Essential oils penetrate the skin and circulate throughout the body in a matter of minutes. The best thing is that you can simply place them on your foot, over the stomach or colon to disperse them throughout your body rather than taking something internally.

And I know that if I am nauseous or vomiting the last thing I want to do is to take anything orally! So, this makes them a perfect natural remedy for nausea.

So this is a huge advantage when we have nausea or are vomiting. And of course we have all the other benefits of therapeutic grade essential oils as well!

Also, essential oils are highly anti-bacterial and anti-viral. So, if you are sick from food poisoning (bacterial) or stomach flu (viral), essential oils can address that too!

What Is Causing the Nausea and Vomiting?

Nausea and vomiting can be triggered by a whole host of digestive problems including from constipation, parasites, indigestion, food poisoning, stomach flu or motion sickness.

So depending on your problem, there are different oils that can help you. When in doubt, if you are nauseous or vomiting than use a general natural remedy for nausea because there is overlap in the oils.

If you know you have a specific digestive problem then refer to the digestive section for more detail. If you have food poisoning, please click here.

You can also place 1-4 drops on your tongue. If you can swallow water, place 6 drops of Di-Gize in a cup of water. Place it in your mouth and swish it around, then swallow.

What Essential Oils can I Use as a Remedy for Vomiting??

Here are the best oils to use as a home remedy for vomiting:

• Nutmeg Essential Oil
  
  
• Peppermint Essential Oil
  
  
• Fennel Essential Oil
  
  
• Patchouli Essential Oil
  
  
• Lavender Essential Oil
  
  
• Di-Gize Essential Oil

Patchouli tends to be one of the best oils when dealing with vomiting. The compounds in this oil are very effective because they reduce the gastrointestinal muscle contractions associated with vomiting.

Dilute, as required, massage 1-3 drops on the mastoids behind the ear and over the navel. Do this hourly. You can also place a warm compress over the stomach after the oils are applied. Directly inhale the oils 4-6 times per hour or as needed. Place 1-4 drops on your tongue if you can.

What Essential Oils can I Use as Pregnancy Nausea Remedies?

For morning sickness home remedies use these oils:

• Di-Gize Essential Oil
  
  
• Ginger Essential Oil
  
  
• Peppermint Essential Oil

Di-Gize and ginger oils are the best natural morning sickness remedies. However, some aromatologists do not recommend Di-Gize because it contains fennel.

I know that many women have used it very successfully by placing it in 1 or 2 drops of water and drinking it slowly throughout the morning. And putting several drops of oil on the navel.

The two essential oil reference books I refer to both recommend Di-Gize; therefore, I know they wouldn’t if there were any reported problems. Most aromatologists are conservative because they are usually concerned with the purity of the oil. Which in this case, is not a problem.

Dilute, as required, massage 1-3 drops on the mastoids behind the ear and over the navel. Do this hourly. You can also place a warm compress over the stomach after the oils are applied. Directly inhale the oils 4-6 times per hour or as needed. Place 1-4 drops on your tongue if you can.

What Essential Oils can I Use for a Natural Remedy for Motion Sickness?

Here are the best oils to use as for sea sickness prevention, air travel sickness or even dog motion sickness:

• Peppermint Essential Oil
  
  
• Ginger Essential Oil
  
  
• Lavender Essential Oil
  
  
• Patchouli Essential Oil
  
  
• Valor Essential Oil
  
  
• Di-Gize Essential Oil
  
  
• M-Grain Essential Oil

Peppermint and Di-Gize are the best oils when dealing with any kind of motion sickness for yourself or your animals.

When I first got my dog Lexie, she didn’t do much automobile traveling. I used Di-Gize for her stomach and Valor to conquer her fear. Now she goes with me everywhere in my truck with no complaints! So oils are also a perfect natural remedy for nausea for dogs as well!

Dilute, as required, massage 1-3 drops on the mastoids behind the ear, over the navel and on the wrists. Do this at least hourly.

You can also place a warm compress over the stomach after the oils are applied. Directly inhale the oils 4-6 times per hour or as needed. Place 1-4 drops on your tongue.

To prevent sea sickness, air travel sickness and motion sickness remember to start at least several hours before you travel.

The Essential Oil Desk Reference suggests that 2 drops each of peppermint and ginger be diluted with 5 drops of V-6 Oil Complex (vegetable oil blend); then 6-10 drop should be placed on the chest and stomach at least 1 hour before traveling.

I hoped you see why essential oils really are the perfect natural remedy for nausea. They have saved me a million times and I wouldn’t leave home without Di-Gize in my essential oil kit. I also keep it in my horse first aid kit.
