  • Aromatherapy


With its many healing properties, aromatherapy is an effective form of alternative medicine that can be used to treat both physical and mental ailments. When you inhale the scent from these essential oils it enters your nasal cavity where they stimulate a response in our limbic system which causes us to feel emotions such as joy or relief depending on what type of oil was used!


Aromatherapy can be practised in several different ways:

  • Inhaling oils through the nostrils directly off of a cloth or from the bottle.

  • Diffusing a single oil or combination of essential oils into the air.

  • Rubbing oils directly onto the skin.

  • Receiving massage therapy that includes the use of essential oils.

  • Soaking in an oil-infused bath.


Oral Application


Be sure to read labels carefully when purchasing oils for internal use. There are many essential oil brands out there that mix their products with artificial flavours and chemicals which can be unsafe to take in orally by mouth!


Use essential oils only in small amounts and never mouth or throat irritation, so dilute it with food before swallowing. It’s best to take them when you eat something because they can irritate your stomach otherwise!


There are a variety of ways to apply essential oils topically. You can take capsules, add drops into your favourite beverage or tea-time dish (only one at a time), and cook with them by using cooking oil as well!


Topical Application


There is an endless list of ways you can use essential oils topically for nausea. You might try putting a few drops on your stomach area, back of the neck or bottoms of feet and feel relief within moments!


You can make your own essential oil remedies by blending the pure oils with a carrier, such as sweet almond or olive oil. You could also add just two drops of an aroma like lavender and place it on cool compresses to help ease nausea (or any other stomach bug).


How to Use Essential Oils for Indigestion


The way to get the most out of your plants is by using them in conjunction with other natural processes. Essential oils can be inhaled through a diffuser, and this method for utilising plant-based medication (aromatherapy) has been around since 2700 BC!


Essential oils can also be inhaled. Some of the most popularly known essential oil scents for this purpose include peppermint, wintergreen and eucalyptus. You will want to make sure that you use low concentration drops which are appropriate for inhalation as opposed to high concentrations designed specifically for Topical application or internal consumption.

Inhaling certain plant-based perfumes is a great way not only to influence your mood but improve cognitive thinking skills too!


There are many benefits to using essential oils for digestive problems. You should start treatment as soon as you notice any unwanted symptoms, and it's possible that combining different scents with your favourite carrier oil will give better results than just one scent on its own!
