During nausea the olfactory system seems overstimulated, therefore the use of essential oils should prefer essences with a delicate aroma . Peppermint is absolutely prohibited during pregnancy, while spica mint is an excellent green remedy for nausea. The aroma diffuser is allowed to spread the steam before going to bed. It takes 4 drops in the diffuser access for about an hour and laid on the floor of the bedroom. In the morning the nausea should appear more and more sporadically with the passing of days and treatment.
