Anyone using essential oils while pregnant?

Question

Looking for relief from headaches and a couple of friends, who AREN'T pregnant, have suggested peppermint oil.

Answer

Peppermint should be fine. It decreases milk supply but that doesn't matter at the moment. Just be careful with some oils. They aren't good while pregnant, and others have the same effect as aspirin so it should be avoided.

Answer

Peppermint and lavender! I use it on my temple and the back of my neck. 😊

Answer

Peppermint, lavender, and tea tree are my favorite.

Answer

I just spent the night on the couch diffusing lavender; it's good for pain I'm told. I also kept put a warm washcloth under hot water and applying to my face, it just felt nice. I woke up with a headache and it stuck around all day. I have been getting 2-3 a week.
