Can the smell of rubbing alcohol relieve nausea?

Posted

(NBC) New research reveals the smell of rubbing alcohol may help relieve nausea.

Scientists asked emergency room patients complaining of nausea to sniff pads soaked in either alcohol or a saline solution.

Within 10 minutes, those in the alcohol group were twice as likely to have relief from their symptoms than patients in the saline group.
