IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM NAUSEA during pregnancy

Nausea is defined as the unpleasant and imminent feeling of vomiting. It is vaguely located in the epigastrium or throat and may not end in vomiting. Vomiting refers to the forceful ejection of the gastrointestinal content through the mouth by involuntary contractions of the chest and abdominal wall musculature.

Nausea and vomiting are very common during the first three months of pregnancy. They are often known as morning sickness, although they can occur at any time of the day. The onset of nausea is highly variable and generally coincides with the disappearance of the first and second menstrual cycles and continues from week 14 to 16 of pregnancy. Generally, they are more intense between week 7 and 9 of pregnancy.

50-90% of pregnant women feel nausea and 25-55% experience vomiting.

NAUSEFIN^® is a solution for nausea based on the antiemetic properties of two herbal remedies: the essential oils of ginger and lemon peel. These ingredients have been traditionally used and are now scientifically proven.

MECHANISM OF ACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS WHEN INHALED

Aromatherapy acts on the central nervous system. The aromatic molecules contained in essential oils are able to stimulate the cells of the olfactory bulb, which in turn send signals to certain regions of the brain, such as the hypothalamus and the limbic system. In this sense, aromatherapy through olfaction is a method to get effects quicker than any other mechanism.

Ginger essential oil and lemon peel essence showed to be effective reducing nausea and vomiting through inhalation. When we inhale them, both aromatic compounds go into the body through the lungs and then flow to the blood vessels through the alveolus. Different studies show positive results in nausea control making inhalations in periods of 5-10 minutes.
