another pregnancy question

[jteogupuisrizieah]

given that essential oils are ingested even when in a burner is it safe to burn oils during a massage or reiki session for a pregnant client. i wa thinking about a drop or 2 of lavender or rose in a burner just to make the session seem special

Soar, there is nothing to stop you burning oils. They can be bought in the shops so that answers that really. But you are right to be cautious and bear in mind contraindications.

As it happens Lavender and Rose are considered to be contra-indicated during pregnancy, though I have my own thoughts on that one!

I suggest you buy some orange or even better mandarin. These are lovely relaxing and uplifting oils and mandarin is particularly safe and recommended for pregnancy.

Put two drops in some water in the burner and enjoy.

many thanks candie. i love mandarin oil and now that the festive season is almost upon us would it be ok to add a drop of cinnamon to the mandarin in the presence of a pregnant lady?

Hi i personally do not worry about the oils that i burn in the air and find i can create different moods and atmospheres.Althoiugh they are being inhaled they are only in such small amountsand tend to work on an emotional level(which i agree will affect physically but not to ill affect) not like if you are actually using inhalations as forms of treatment,then i would be careful of the contraindications.

Not sure my english is very good at this time of night but hope it helps.
