Essential oils when pregnant

Using essential oils with a diffuser is considered by most to be safe for pregnant women. That said, we still recommend that you consult your doctor before using essential oils during pregnancy.

Many people use essential oils during pregnancy to reduce nausea, improve sleep and reduce stress.

Using essential oils with a diffuser is generally very safe as the oil is automatically diluted properly in the water vapor produced.

Essential oils should never be used directly on the skin, but should first be diluted in a so-called "carrier oil", such as coconut or jojoba oil. They should also never be used internally and should not be eaten or drunk. This also applies to pregnancy, of course.

Do not drip in too much oil so that it smells too strong, but let the scent be mild and pleasant.
