Patient's question:
I am a beautician who became pregnant without knowing. During this period, I came into contact with essential oils, cosmetics, and lip gloss. Can the child be kept? Is it harmful to the child?Doctor's answer:
1. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not use essential oils.2. Essential oils can penetrate the placenta and harm the fetus or cause miscarriage.
3. Many cases have indeed found essential oil components in miscarried embryos. Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should not undergo essential oil massages to avoid affecting the fetus. Even if essential oils are safe for pregnant women, the best use is as indoor aromatherapy, ensuring they do not come into contact with the skin. Start reducing the use of essential oil cosmetics now, as there is no need to worry.
