I double checked with TWO dr relatives Now The reason? They can't claim it's safe in pregnancy without doing a medical trial But, any doctor says the ingredients are in no way dangerous I have a load of Vicks on my lip right this second!!! Citronella oil Citronella oil is often applied directly to the skin as an insect repellent. Generally, only a small amount is applied for this purpose and citronella oil is not known to be harmful in pregnancy when used in this way.

However, citronella oil is not considered effective enough to protect against mosquito bites in areas where malaria may be transmitted. Please see the bump leaflet on use of insect repellents in pregnancy if you require information on this subject. Clove oil Clove oil is a traditional remedy for toothache. There are no pregnancy safety studies on clove oil.

Wintergreen oil Wintergreen oil is an ingredient in some muscle rubs such as Deep Heat. Wintergreen oil contains methyl salicylate, which is related to aspirin. However, use of aspirin and other medicines from the NSAID family is not recommended in late pregnancy so, as a precaution, women may wish to avoid using products containing wintergreen oil after the second trimester. Essential oils either inhaled or applied to the skin are sometimes used by women during labour.

Undiluted essential oils are highly toxic and should not be swallowed during pregnancy or at any other time. If you swallow an essential oil you should seek immediate medical advice.

If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy and are in any doubt about using a product or medicine, speak to a trained professional or healthcare advisor such as your midwife.

Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians are credited among the first humans to harness the many capabilities of essential oils. These ancient peoples developed the techniques used to extract essential oils from their natural plant habitats via distillation and pressing. They used essential oils because of their healing and medicinal properties, for cosmetic purposes, and to aid in spiritual meditation and relaxation. And after going through , we can all agree that a little relaxation would be nice.

Today we realize these same regenerative, healing, soothing, and aromatic benefits when essential oils are inhaled, diffused, ingested, or applied topically to the skin.
