Essential oils?

Question

We use some essential oils in yoga, peppermint/bergamot/spearmint/lavender etc. are they safe in pregnancy? Not ingesting them just on hands, occasionally feet?

Answer

Dilute if using on your skin- and make sure you're using a pure brand. I use both Young Living and doTerra oils.

Answer

I believe it's fine! I use doterra lavender/peppermint/lemon as my main three. I also use their On Guard(when i feel I'm getting sick) and Breathe(when I'm heavily congested). I usually don't out these on my skin directly, I just diffuse them in my diffuser! You can also use lavender to soothe and calm diaper rash!  (I also included a picture of my diffuser). Just be sure that whatever brand of oils it is that you are using that they are 100% natural.

Answer

Peppermint I believe is safe for pregnancy but not afterwards if going to breastfeed it will dry you up quick

Answer

I might be wrong but I think you're not supposed to use peppermint.
