WELL-BEING
Essential oils are generally not recommended for pregnant women. The use of hydrosols is recommended during the first three months of pregnancy. One or two teaspoons of orange blossom or lavender hydrosol in a cup of hot water can work wonders. Avoid applying any pure essential oil to your skin. If you want to put it in your bath, use milk, coffee cream or vegetable milk as a solvent, which allows the oils to dissolve in the water.
