Essential Oils and Pregnancy





Essential oils and pregnancy form a wonderful relationship. Most essential oils can be used safely throughout pregnancy, labor and beyond. Do not forget that essential oils have been around for a very long time and have an impeccable track record. Do not fear, they are much safer than pharmaceutical drugs, and you can easily make your own aromatherapy products at home.

However, you should not forget that they do have powerful medicinal effects. Therefore, there are some oils which are better used with caution while you are pregnant and some that should be avoided altogether.

We will mention some Young Living essential oil blends. We switched to these therapeutic grade essential oils a few years ago after a therapist and a DO said they used nothing else. We have been very impressed with their quality and would never use any oil neat - without a carrier oil - or orally unless they were Young Living oils.

If the thought of using oils neat or orally is scary please refer to aromatherapy schools, which may help shed some light on this issue.
