DeBunking Myths about using essential oils during pregnancy

I am 27 weeks pregnant at the moment and I have been using essential oils since week 16.
It went like this...I had a bad headache.  No amount of water I drank, or tylenol I took could take the brain numbing pain away:(  I started looking for other remedies and came across peppermint essential oils, immediately went out and bought some and within minutes I felt relief.  I haven;t touched any kind of pain reliever since (and it is a darn good thing because those pain relievers can cause liver damage).
I was amazed!  I remembered that a friend of mine was using essential oils and posting on facebook quite a bit on how she used them, so I wanted to see which products she used, because quite honestly her and her husband have never steered me wrong before when it came to my health.  I knew that she had used essential oils throughout her pregnancy, labour, and postpartum as well.

After I picked her brain and set myself up with some awesome doTERRA oils, she recommended a book called Essential Oils for Pregnancy, Birth, and Babies by Stephanie Fritz.  After reading it I felt confident in my decision to use essential oils during my pregnancy.  I continued my research and to this day still read articles on this topic.  Today I found this extremely informative article that I would like to share!



This is NOT a “HOW TO” article, but one that is focused on DEBUNKING THE COMMON MYTHS associated with the use of essential oils while pregnant.
