Added text about a randomized controlled crossover clinical trial that investigated the effect of inhaled ginger essential oil on alleviating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in Asian women with breast cancer; aromatherapy administered as inhaled ginger essential oil for 5 days was associated with small, statistically significant, but not clinically significant, reductions in acute nausea but had limited effects on reducing vomiting or delaying nausea in 60 evaluable patients (cited Lua et al. as reference 8).
Added text to Table 1 about a randomized controlled, single-blind, crossover clinical trial that investigated the effect of inhaled ginger essential oil on alleviating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in an Asian population with breast cancer (cited Lua et al. as reference 9).
