I'm seeing conflicting answers when I do a google search. I want to use it topically on my temples for headache relief.

    I've used for that purpose it as well as added drops of it (therapeutic grade only) to my tea to aid in morning sickness / general nausea and added it to baths.

    It's safe! My OB recommended Peppermint tea for nausea and heartburn, and I know for sure it's safe topically.

    This says no: https://www.essentialoils.co.za/pregnancy.htm, but it also says to avoid ginger which is often recommended for MS during pregnancy.  I'd say it's safe and that this list is for the hyper-cautious moms.

    Oil is different then tea. The oil is like drinking 30 cups of tea. Be careful what you report.
