Pregnancy
It's like the craziest rollercoaster you’ve ever been on, but an amazing one. There is this huge misconception as far as essential oils go and which ones are safe in pregnancy wand which ones should be avoided. We are going to dive deep when it comes to my favorite things about pregnancy!
Essential Oils for Pregnancy, Birth and Babies Second Edition
In this book, you will find essential oil recommendations for common conditions regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care. While many pharmaceutical drugs cannot be taken during pregnancy or by infants, many essential oils are highly effective and safe for maternal and infant ailments. This book is written for prospective and new mothers and their babies during the complete 9 months before and 9 months after delivery.
1st Trimester
Congratulations…You just found out you’re pregnant, welcome to your first trimester! This journey is incredible and sometimes even an overwhelming process, both physically and emotionally. While each of you is unique, most of you will experience some discomfort during your pregnancy brought on by dramatic hormonal changes, especially in your first trimester. My expertise and passion is using essential oils and my recommendations are based on my experience with these oils, that being said, I urge all of you to use these two keywords: common sense. Trust your intuition, and if you don’t feel comfortable with a certain oil, by all means, listen to that inner feeling. I can give a recommendation, but you are the one who has stewardship over your body and your baby, not me, so keep your power and don’t give it away!
