Essential oils reduce nausea, vomiting after bone marrow transplantation
Pure essential oils can reduce incidence of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting among individuals who undergo bone marrow transplant, according to study results.
Use of this noninvasive, inexpensive treatment can help patients maintain physical strength and emotional well-being, findings presented at 2023 Tandem Meetings | Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR showed.
