blood flow in the pelvic area and uterus; some stimulate menstruation.
Some of the Emmenagogues that we carry also include: Chamomile, Clary
Sage, Cinnamon, Ginger, Marjoram, Myrrh, and Rosemary. Some women
report that they can use these oils during pregnancy without any
problem. I used both Ginger and Peppermint during pregnancy for
morning sickness. However, everyone is different. During a pregnancy,
check for sensitivity by putting a small amount on your wrist and see
how you feel. You can also muscle test and see if it is appropriate
for you. You are the best expert when it comes to your own body, so
ask yourself if you should take it.
Googling essential oils and pregnancy will give you a good idea of
what you can use safely, however, we are dealing with a pure oil,
where the oils that many articles are based on have petrochemicals and
fillers in them, which also cause problems, so take that with a grain
of salt.
There is peppermint in the vitamins, and they are being used during
pregnancy. I would say, if you are sensitive to peppermint, lay off of
it during a pregnancy, or limit yourself to the amount that you are
using.
I would also call doTerra's office and talk to someone who knows the
oils there (like Emily).
Happy Oiling!
Love, Julia
