So you found out you’re pregnant, but you don’t know how that ties into the aromatherapy world and what is safe.

Often times people claim that essential oils are 100% safe in pregnancy, and that there are no rules in using them during a pregnancy, because they are natural so that makes them safe. Well, just because something is natural does not make it safe, and there are actually a lot of guidelines to using essential oils in pregnancy. Many essential oils are not safe, and the ones that are safe still come with cautions within a pregnancy as well. In this post I will detail in depth what essential oils are safe, what essential oils aren’t safe (and need to be avoided) rules and guidelines for using essential oils in pregnancy and some ways we can utilize essential oils in pregnancy/labor.

Per request I am compiling a comprehensive oil list of oils that are safe for Pregnancy, breastfeeding and for kids. Some of these oils can be safe for all 3, some are only safe for 1.
