PREGNANCY: Avoid using essential oils in first trimester if there are concerns, or use only under the direction of a qualified aromatherapist. In the second trimester, the following oils should only be used in a 1% dilution when used on the body for massage: lavender, geranium, chamomile, cardamom, neroli and palmarosa. Other oils can be used in diffusers (i.e. spearmint for nausea).(info here)
A common dilution for aromatherapy blends during pregnancy is 2% - which would equal approximately 10 drops essential oil to 2 tablespoons of carrier oil. For an aromatherapy bath add 6-10 drops essential oil to the tub and mix well before getting in. 3-6 drops essential oil in a bowl of warm water wrung out in a washcloth works well for a compress. Use the same dilution in a bowl of steaming hot water for a steam inhalation. (info here)
Safety Guidelines:
• Do not use essential oils in pregnancy for the first 12 weeks.
• Use only good quality pure essential oils, not 『 fragrance' oils, and pure cold pressed vegetable carrier oils such as sunflower, sweet almond or olive oils
• Essential oils should not be taken orally or used undiluted on the skin. Keep out of eyes and away from children.
• Recommended book: Aromatherapy for Women and Children by Jane Dye
• Seek the guidance of a qualified aromatherapist for specific ailments and more advice
