Anyone Using Essential Oils?

mrsblea

Hello! I am 6 weeks pregnant, a First-time Mom, 25 years old living in UT! There are a lot of medicines that you can't have during pregnancy which has been tough because my biggest symptom so far is nausea. I get it throughout the day. My stomach hurts when I eat a normal size meal. When I eat small meals throughout the day it helps. My question is... Anyone out there using Essential Oils to help out with their symptoms? If so, which ones do you use, are they all safe to use? Are there any I should stay away from? I want to be as natural as possible and stay away from any medicine such as tums and tylenol so I want to give essential oils a try!

I'm using them! I'm just about 5 weeks pregnant and I plan to use them through my entire pregnancy and labor. I've been using Young Living EOs for the last two years so when DH and I started trying, I started doing tons of research on safety during pregnancy. Get your hands on the book Gentle Babies if you can, it's an amazing resource! It talks about using EOs from conception to even taking care of your kids with EOs. Also you can go to oil-testimonials.com and type in 'pregnancy' and you'll get testimonies of women who used them. I already started using DiGize to stop the bout of nausea I had a couple days ago, and thank God it worked for me!

Thank you for replying!! I will definitely get that book. My mother is big on EO and has so many, I wanted to check what I can or csn not use and how much of it. I'm pretty excited about it. Peppermint is already helping my headachs. Definitely will try digize because my stomach and nausea have been horrible lately!! Thanks again

Oh nice! My mom got me into EOs too! Peppermint might help too, when you get nauseous try putting a little drop at the back of your tongue/ rub one drop on your stomach. That worked for me too I got that tip from oil-testimonials.com. EOs are so amazing!
