Abstract.
Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy, often called morning sickness, doesn't mean the nausea only occurs in the morning.
Nausea can occur at any time, at night, during the day, or anywhere. Morning sickness usually begins around 8 weeks and lasts
until 12 weeks. Each woman will experience varying degrees of nausea; some may not experience much, while others may
experience nausea, and some may even experience severe nausea and vomiting constantly, requiring treatment (Supriyanto,
2015). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2015, the incidence of emesis gravidarum reached 12.5% of all
pregnancies worldwide. Management of emesis gravidarum during pregnancy can be done through pharmacological and non
pharmacological measures. One non-pharmacological method that can be provided is the use of aromatherapy, such as inhaling
essential oils like lemon, lemongrass, ginger, and lavender. The purpose of this study was to analyze the literature related to
aromatherapy, which is effective in treating emesis gravidarum. PICOST analysis was used to determine keywords and criteria
for the literature to be used. In this study, the data collection process included compiling a literature review according to the
topic approved by the reviewer, determining keywords and criteria for the literature used using PICOST, determining the
database to be used, conducting a literature search using the PRISMA guidelines and assessing its feasibility using JBI Critical
Appraisal, and finally conducting a literature analysis and reporting the results of the literature review. From the seven articles
reviewed, it was concluded that ginger, lemon inhalation, and peppermint can reduce nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.
Based on a literature review, the most effective intervention for reducing emesis gravidarum is lemon inhalation therapy, with
a p value of 0.000 compared to other research journals that obtained p values >0.000.
