Pregnancy + Oils

Pregnancy + Oils

This is YOUR pregnancy, and YOUR body. You are the gatekeeper who has the final say in what enters your body. You’ll need to be the one to make the decision and feel comfortable using essential oils. You’ll find lots of research and testimonials here.

Research at least 3 different resources that are not webmd. Personal autonomy and responsibility always lies with parents. Ask questions.

You’ll see lots of mamas in here who have taken nearly all YL supplements, but you need to read up on the ingredients list and decide yourself.

For some women, peppermint, jasmine, and can decrease milk supply. For other women, it’s not an issue. It’s your body, so you’ll need to do what you’re comfortable with! ❤

Here are some pregnancy tips for nausea and morning sickness and alllllll day sickness from a collective group of mamas:

2-3 drops Peppermint Vitality in a capsule
Tangerine inhaled and on wrists (photosensitive – careful with sun exposure)
1 drop Peppermint Vitality and/or Lemon Vitality in a glass of water
Ningxia Red is high in antioxidants, great for energy, and full of nutrients for you and your growing baby
Tummygize on belly
Ginger Vitality in water
PD80/20 – Super B – MegaCal, Essentialzymes
Alkalime
Juvaflex on feet
Drop of lemon on clavicle/breastbone (photosensitive, careful with sun exposure)

Progessence Plus though the 1st trimester
Avoid peppermint directly on the belly during the third trimester as it can cause the baby to turn
Dilute Gentle baby and rub along your neck
Dilute Lemon on your breastbone
Stretch Mark Soother | 1/2c. coconut oil mixed with 15 drops Frankincense and 15 drops Lavender
Sleep | Lavender, Peace + Calming II, Frankincense, Stress Away (Diffuse any combo of these oils)
Drop of lavender on your wrists and collarbone or on the bottoms of your feet

As always – YOU are in control of your body. We are not doctors, these are remedies lots of miserable and nauseous pregnant women have found helpful. You should always do your own research and decide to do what you’re comfortable with.

❤ Some mommas feel more comfortable sticking to the basics during pregnancy, and that’s WONDERFUL too. You are the keeper of your body
