Precautions While Using Essential Oils For Pregnancy:

Only 50% of the topical applied essential oil is absorbed. The price of the oil is a good way to judge its quality. The use of essential oil for pregnancy is still being discussed. Along with that point, there are some other precautions you should follow before you use any essential oil during pregnancy:

  • It is important to use high-quality essential oils from a reputable seller.
  • They can be diluted with the normal massage oil or even put in a vaporizer to inhale.
  • Once the oil reaches the body, it does the work of drugs. The molecules in essential oils are small, and there is a thin possibility that they reach the placenta.
  • Many pregnant women find the use of essential oils relieving, but it is important to talk to the health care professional before you start using it.
  • Use only one drop at a time, to avoid adverse effect
  • Try changing the oil every few days or a couple of weeks
  • Dilute the oil with the regular base oil, in at least 1/10thratio before adding it to the bath or even before you use it on skin
  • Studies have shown that using these oils may improve the way of life.
  • Lavender and tea tree oil have found to have some hormone-like effect. This effect is similar to estrogen and is also known to block or decrease the effect of androgens
