Baths are a gentle way for pregnant women to give their bodies a well-deserved break and take time to themselves before the baby comes. As I stated earlier in the book, it’s important for pregnant women to be extremely careful with essential oils, as some can be downright dangerous. For that reason, I’ve included a few recipes that are safe for them to use. By no means are these the only essential oils available to pregnant women, but they are the ones that are considered safe. If you are pregnant and want to learn more about other essential oils, I recommend booking an appointment with an aromatherapist so they can cater specific oils to your specific needs.
These recipes are safe for pregnant women to use any time throughout their pregnancy.
