II. How to use organic essential oils in pregnant and breastfeeding women?
Routes of administration allowing passage into the blood or milk should be avoided. However, atmospheric diffusion does not pose a problem in the presence of pregnant or breastfeeding women or young children.
Some essential oils are recommended and atmospheric diffusion must be done in small periods. Dry inhalations (1 to 2 drops on a tissue) can be used frequently. Be careful, for young children place essential oils on a support out of reach of hands, thus promoting atmospheric diffusion and avoiding dry inhalations.
Prefer atmospheric diffusion
To purify the atmosphere, diffuse citrus essential oils:
- Organic Grapefruit essential oil, Organic Bergamot,
- Essential oil of organic lemon, organic tangerine, orange tree…
You can mix them together. To relax:
- Organic Bergamot essential oil,
- Organic fine lavender essential oil,
- Organic Roman Chamomile essential oil.
These essential oils can be mixed together.
Our recommendations :
It is important to store vegetable oils away from oxygen, mainly to maintain their properties. If they oxidize, they will no longer protect the skin from the formation of free radicals and skin aging.
Certain vegetable oils such as organic borage, organic evening primrose and organic rosehip vegetable oils deteriorate very quickly. To preserve them, add a teaspoon of organic Jojoba liquid wax to the opened bottle. The latter plays the role of an excellent preservative.
The use of essential oils should be reserved for atmospheric diffusion and dry inhalations during maternity.
