Teach Soap

Hi everyone,
Please can someone help me, I have read so many articles on which EO's and FO's and oils / butters are not safe to use in pregnancy and I am not sure what is true and what is not - there are so many contradictions and I don't believe everything I read on the internet either.

I have a friend who is pregnant and I want to make her a Mommy bath set to cheer her up - she is really suffering with morning sickness. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much!!!

Here is a link that may be useful, at least in regards to essential oils... http://bubbleandbee.blogspot.com/2010/0 ... nancy.html

Stephanie, the owner of Bubble and Bee, is a wealth of information and always responds to emails if you want to ask her any specific questions.

You could always go unscented too.... a little boring but safe. You never know what smells trigger her morning sickness as well. I think it is great that you are thinking of her and her safety! Great friend!

Anne-Marie just posted this as well!

Thanks for the info Meg12. Bramble Momma I went with your suggestion, no fragrance but coloured everything in various shades of blue - which is her fav colour. Thank you for the advice!

There are most definitely some EO's that are unsafe for use by pregnant women (just as some cannot be used when you have certain medical conditions). Some can actually stimulate the uterus, so it is very important to know what the indications are for the one(s) you are planning to use. You most certainly can make a lovely bath blend with relaxing oils that are safe, you just need to know. One of my most favorite sites to refer people to, because they clearly state the warnings, as well as the indications for use, is http://www.botanical.com/products/aroma/ess.html For more info on each oil you just click that oils "more info" link, but they have a key on the main page so you don't have to waste time if you do not wish to.
