The scent of peppermint can ease nausea. Place a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil on your hands and rub them together vigorously and the inhale the aroma.
Acupressure
Acupressure
Acupressure is an age-old practice, think 1000’s of years, of stimulating pressure points throughout the body to alleviate nausea, pain, and illness. for thousands of years. Practitioners believe that stimulating certain nerves using simple pressure on pressure points in the body send signals to the brain that in turn sends hormones to relieve pain and nausea.
There have been a number of studies that looked at how effective acupressure is in helping chemotherapy patients control nausea. These studies found that acupressure as effective as anti-nausea medications and have the added benefit of no adverse side effects.

Top 10 Essential Oils to Treat Seasickness, Motion Sickness, and Nausea
- Ginger
- Peppermint
- Lavender
- Chamomile
- Fennel
- Nutmeg

- Basil
- Grapefruit
- Cardamom
The easiest way to treat using essential oils is to place a drop or 2 of essential oil into the palm of your hands and rub to warm then inhale deeply or place drops on a tissue and inhale, or put it in an essential oil diffuser. If you are sensitive to essential oils you may want to try a diffuser and be careful not to get essential oils on your skin since they can cause irritation or an allergic reaction.
Aromatherapy Spray to Help Seasickness and Motion Sickness
I like to use an essential oil blend of ginger, peppermint, and cardamom essential oils. I like to use a small stainless steel spray bottle filled 3/4 of the way with distilled water and add 8 drops ginger, 4 drops peppermint and 4 drops of cardamom. Shake well prior to each use.
