Citrus fruits

Vomiting sensation is a very unpleasant feeling that can ruin your day and affect your health. It can be caused by many factors, such as infections, medications, pregnancy, motion sickness, stress, or eating disorders. Sometimes, even certain smells can trigger vomiting sensation in some people.

But did you know that there are some smells that can actually help you prevent or reduce vomiting sensation? Yes, you heard me right. Citrus fruits like lemon and orange have a refreshing and invigorating smell that can counteract nausea and vomiting.


How does this work? Well, citrus fruits contain a compound called limonene, which is an essential oil that gives them their characteristic aroma. Limonene has many beneficial effects on our body and mind. It can stimulate our brain, relieve anxiety and depression, increase blood flow to our head, and balance our pH levels.

When we smell citrus fruits, we inhale limonene into our nostrils and lungs. This sends a signal to our brain that overrides the nausea-inducing signal from our stomach or inner ear. Limonene also helps to relax our stomach muscles and reduce acid production, which can cause heartburn and indigestion.

So, next time you feel like vomiting, try smelling a lemon or an orange. You can also squeeze some lemon juice into a glass of water and drink it slowly. Or you can add some lemon grass to your tea or soup for a soothing effect. Citrus fruits are not only delicious but also very helpful for your health.
