Safety Considerations
Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional or certified aromatherapist before using essential oils during pregnancy and birth. Some essential oils may be contraindicated in certain situations.
* Pregnant women should avoid using certain essential oils, such as rosemary, sage, and camphor. * Essential oils should be diluted in a carrier oil before applying them topically. * Avoid using essential oils directly on the skin without diluting them first. * Do not ingest essential oils without seeking professional advice.
