essential oil hemorrhoids
There is a great deal of fear coming primarily from the British approach about using essential oils with pregnant women. This fear is that the essential oils will damage the developing child, or essential oils will cause abortions, miscarriages or premature births. Since some essential oils influence hormonal balance, there is also the fear of disrupting a normal pregnancy. Yet there is no evidence in the literature that this is actually true. However, if a little essential oil is good, it does not mean that a lot is better. Without the research, we do not know how much of the compounds in essential oils actually cross the placenta to the growing child. Can essential oils be used to cause abortion? Both Pennyroyal and Parsley Seed (apiol) have been reported to cause death of the mother in attempts to abort a fetus. It is important to remember that ANY essential oil misused can cause potential damage if taken in large quantities.
Shirley Price in her book Aromatherapy for Health Professionals, clearly states that the use of essential oils during pregnancy requires great expertise. She recommends caution during the first trimester since we really don't know how many molecules of an oil actually cross the placenta. She feels that essential oils can safely be used after this critical growing point in the life of the fetus. Can pregnant women use essential oils topically and inhale them? The answer is YES. The quantities are so small that they cannot possibly harm the mother. You will however, want to limit topical dilutions to 10% or less. Should pregnant women take essential oils internally? For legal reasons, that is best left for the licensed health care professionals.
There are very few essential oils to be avoided during pregnancy-Juniperus sabina (Savin) and Juniperus pfitzeriana (Spanish Sage.) In laboratory animals, tumors developed in the offspring when they were exposed in the womb to all essential oils rich in safrole. These include Brazilian sassafras, Ocotea camphora, Chinese sassafras, Cinnamomum camphora.
Why Might a Pregnant Woman Want to Use an Essential Oil?
Actually there are lots of reasons. Indigestion, hemorrhoids, morning sickness, relaxation, rest, sleep, back pain, stretch marks, edema, rashes, urinary tract infections, emotional upsets, eczema, leg cramps, to name but a few problems that can develop with pregnancy. Essential oils can easily handle all of these problems with little concern of danger to the fetus.
