Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
If your score is 1-3, participants will be instructed/assisted in using a nasal inhaler 3 times, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. After 5 minutes, nausea scores will be collected again and if the score is the same or higher, participants will be asked to use the nasal inhaler again in the same manner as before. If their nausea has not resolved after the second use, they will be give anti-nausea medication that a surgeon ordered. This process will be repeated again whenever you complain of nausea, until they are discharged from the hospital.

Peppermint oil
post-op surgical patients
Peppermint oil
The study product is a commercial essential oil product and nasal inhaler. It is to be prepared by a trained, independent individual who will add 4 drops of one of the three oils/oil combinations. The subject will be instructed to twist off the cap and position inhaler in such a way as to allow the subject to inhale the vapors; it can be reused for multiple administrations. Essential oils have been the subject of other studies in treating nausea. If nausea is unrelieved, treatment will progress to the ordered antiemetic.
