Does anyone use essential oils?

I have some and I was using Stress Away and lavender quite a bit and I diffuse Christmas Spirit all the time (I know, it's not Christmas oh well!)  but I have been lazy about researching which oils are safe for pregnancy so I haven't really been using them.  Except peppermint...I have been just sniffing the bottle when I am nauseated.

Loving my oils too!  My sister introduced me to them before I got pregnant.  I use the doTerra brand. I've had a cold this week, and since I can't take any medicine, its been a huge help to have the OnGuard and ColdBomb to help get rid of this cold.  I've also used ginger for nausea, which helped immediately!  From what I understand, the trick to the oils during pregnancy is more related to the strength.  You've got to really dilute them when pregnant.  Of course, some aren't safe at all.  You just have to do your research.  My sister is part of a facebook group that has alot of helpful info about oils.  I've also been told that lavender and peppermint are also safe.

I love my oils too! I also use Doterra. I've been using lavender and serenity to help me sleep through the night. Also Digestzen for my acid reflux. I'll be keeping peppermint and ginger on hand for nasuea!

I use oils too but haven't much since I found out about the pg. Regardless of what brand you use, oils are NEVER SAFE for injestion unless prescribed by a certified aromatherapist. This practice is even more dangerous when you are pregnant. Just a PSA

Isn't Young Living just a pyramid scheme?  I mean you can get quality essential oils from lots of places without all the hype just say...

Anyway Essential Oils are completely safe when used with a diffuser when pregnant.  Most of them are completely fine topically as well if used with a medium like coconut oil.  (I like lavender and eucalyptus mixed together to chill out sometimes).  As always never ingest essential oils unless direct care from a practioner and this is even more suggested when pregnant.
