I have read that pregnant woman should avoid using essential oils, but I'm not quite sure why or what they are. Anyone know? And is 100% coconut oil considered an essential oil and therefore to be avoided as well? Thanks!Is 100% coconut oil safe for use on a pregnant woman?
It's a carrier oil, unless you're allergic it's fine. Good for eating too, I cook in it.
Some essential oils are potent medicines and can cause reactions in the body, including miscarriage, hormone changes, heart or circulation changes, preterm labor, and so on. Some are safe and recommended though, including geranium, tangerine, neroli, and some others, all well diluted of course, just a drop or two in a lot of a carrier oil for massage, or used in a diffuser to scent a room. If you use anything in the bath you have to stir the oil into milk before adding to the water. Talk to an herbalist or aromatherapist perhaps.Is 100% coconut oil safe for use on a pregnant woman?
Here is a website that explains eveything on why you shouldn't use on pregnant women and how to use them correctly . You might be able to use it in a bath but read this and it will tell you .
Good luck and congrats
