Lemon (Citrus limon) contains various secondary
metabolites that can have a potential influence on emesis gravidarum or nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.However, keep in mind that the properties and effects of these secondary metabolites may vary between different lemon varieties and also depend on how they are used.Limonene is a remote compound found in the essential oil of lemon peel.This is one of the compounds that gives lemon its characteristic fresh aroma.Limonene has been studied for its potential anti-nausea properties.[9] Lemons contain flavonoids, which are phytochemical compounds found in many fruits and vegetables.Flavonoids have antioxidant properties, and some of them have been linked to health benefits.
Although there is no direct evidence linking the flavonoids in lemons to emesis gravidarum, their antioxidant properties may help reduce discomfort during pregnancy.Lemons are rich in vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which has antioxidant properties and can help improve the immune system.[12] Limonin is a triterpenoid compound found in citrus
