We return to live a period in which there is a return to natural cosmetics, organic, biological, essential, pure products ... That they are of high quality and obtained by natural procedures does not mean that they are safe if they are misused. Pregnant women they must be careful when using essential oils.
The essential oils are the more concentrated plant extracts that exist. They are obtained only from plants classified as aromatic. These plants not only "release" aroma when we smell them, but also chemical molecules with therapeutic properties.
These plant essences must know how to use them for our beauty and / or relaxation rituals. Many people use them without knowing very well the concentration they have, in which raw material to mix them and how many drops are sufficient. Surely you all have a friend or acquaintance understood on the subject but I advise you to always consult a professional before launching them.
It is important to know that it is not advised the use of essential oils in pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy. Its purity and concentration may prove to be too strong and / or irritating to the pregnant woman. The rest of the months of pregnancy should be used with caution and always in small concentrations.
Not all are equal since each has a specific property. There is a list of the essential oils indicated and essential oils advised against during pregnancy. You are thinking where this list is and why I do not list it in this post. I have not wanted to list them because I am convinced of the need for each one of you to consult those that suit you with an aromatherapy expert or with the doctor if you can not spend some time using them.
We all know the virtues of rosehip oil, universally used for the skin. As many readers commented in the posts about anti-stretch body treatments, you should use a few drops of the oil added to a milk or body oil, not in a pure state on the skin.
It is very different to use pure essential oil and a cosmetic with essential oils as ingredients of its formula. Therein lies the big difference. Finally, I would like to clarify that the use of essential oils may be due to topical, oral or inhalation. Everything recommended above includes any of these routes of use. Use them well informed by a doctor to take advantage of all their benefits. If you doubt any, do not use it until you are 100% safe.
