It is safe to use essential oils while you are pregnant, as long as you are healthy and you are careful with them.
Essential oils are highly concentrated substances extracted from plants that are powerful, therefore it is important to use them sparingly. Make sure you buy high-quality therapeutic grade oils from a reputable seller.
Essential oils can be diluted with a base or carrier oil such as coconut, grapeseed or sweet almond oil for massage, or placed in a vaporizer to breathe them in.
It is best to take the following precautions:
- do not use them orally
- only use one drop at a time
- do not use one specific oil for a long period of time
- a maximum dilution of 2% is recommended for massage oils. Dilute the essential oil by mixing the drop with at least a teaspoon (5ml) of a base oil before adding it to a bath or massaging it over your skin.
- do not use the vaporizer for longer than 15 minutes, as the smell can be overpowering and make you feel nauseous.
- it is preferred to use them past the first trimester, since the fetus is more developped in the 2nd and 3rd trimester.
Do not use the following oils while pregnant:
- Basil (may contribute to abnormal cell development)
- Nutmeg (may have hallucinogenic effects and react with pain-relieving drugs in labor)
- Jasmine and clary sage (may trigger contractions).
- Juniper berry (may affect your kidneys)
- Rosemary (may increase blood pressure and cause contractions)
- Sage and rose (may cause bleeding in your uterus)
Angelica, aniseed, citronella, clary sage, cumin, cinnamon leaf, clove, fennel, laurel, oregano, rosemary, thyme should also be avoided since they can cause contractions.
Don't use any oils at all if:
- you have a history of miscarriage
- you have had any vaginal bleeding in this pregnancy
- you have epilepsy
- you have heart problems
- you have diabetes, blood clotting problems, or thyroid, liver or kidney disease
These essential oils can be used safely:
Black pepper, Roman chamomile, citrus (bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin, neroli, tangerine), cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense, geranium, peppermint, spearmint, ylang ylang, lavender (not in 1st trimester), tea tree oil (not in labor).
Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy :)

“Regain your health & happiness and balance your life: mind-body-spirit.”
I have had the opportunity to test drive the Tesla this week. I must admit, driving this car is pure bliss, you feel like driving a jet minus the noise. Its forms are also quite enviable, the inside is luxuriously comfortable and the whole car is literally a computer. The car can drive itself, park itself - yes even rear-parking! - it remembers your seating preference, bumps on the road, your favorite music, includes GPS of course, and you can even surf internet (not while driving please), etc.
I cannot understate the fact that it pollutes our environment less (although debatable because of the toxic batteries), because it is electric versus gas, and saves you tons of gas money (which somehow offsets the $$$ cost of the car)... if you are willing to sit for over 1h (stay OUT of the car for below-mentioned reason!) weekly to fully charge the car for free at the Tesla supercharger station. It charges at 350 mi/h when the battery is empty and closer to 150mi/h at the end when the battery is almost full. You can have your own charger installed by an electrician with the wall plug for about $1000 in your garage and recharge it overnight for $15 per charge (200+ miles). If you install a charger, you get 25 miles per hour (or 250 over 10 through he night) or 200 to 300 miles per hour at a Tesla supercharger. You can also charge it with your own electric system at 3 miles per hour only, charging at 110V.
In terms of driving, your foot is constantly on the "gas" pedal because the car slows itself down real quick, which means less wear and tear on the brakes. There is no actual key to insert (only a real cute kid-size car in lieu as a remote control) and no shift (I still have the reflex of using both each time I drive the Tesla).
Did I mention that Tesla texts you, if someone tries to break into your car? (yes, I did try to "break" into my own car!).
Oh and don't get a light/cream interior, bc it is the least kid-friendly color and your clothes will bleed on the seats in no time.
That being said, after a mere 30 minute-minute ride, I get a massive headache. I thought maybe it was all in my head (no pun intended), so I alternated driving my old family van and Tesla this week and the headache magically ceased after driving the van. EMFs are real, people... I cannot even sleep with wifi on at night. Granted, we are not all THAT sensitive to everything that surrounds us, but if it gives me a headache, it must do something to others, even if you cannot feel it.
Who would have thought I would ever write a car review ;)

Having trouble sleeping? Try these proven bedtime rituals for a night that will leave you feeling refreshed and recharged. Your day will be so much brighter!
· wait 2-3 hours since your last meal. Eat a light meal and choose complex carbs like brown rice, quinoa or millet over protein, since they have sleep-promoting qualities. Avoid sugar and alcohol.
· shut down all electronic devices 1 hour before bed as their blue light mimics the effect of the sun and hinders your melatonin production which is crucial for sleep.
· make your bedroom a sanctuary: remove the clutter (especially under the bed), change sheets weekly, only keep items you like, no electronics and fitness appliances and no work!
· have a ritual: give yourself a massage with warm sesame or coconut oil, take a warm bath with lavender essential oil and epsom salts, read a fiction book, listen to soft music, light a candle, etc. whatever helps you wind down.
· sip a bedtime tea infused with herbs like chamomile, lavender, hops, valeriana, or passionflower.
· wear comfortable pajamas, preferably in a breathing material like cotton.
· air your bedroom and keep the temperature cool.
· make your room completely dark and quiet. Wear an eye mask, use ear plugs, and a white noise machine if needed.
· remove all electronic devices to avoid EMFs (no cell phone in bed, switch it to airplane mode) and turn off your wifi.
· say your gratitudes and write down any action items on a pad that you keep near your bed to empty your mind.
· meditate for a few minutes: sit or lie down, relaxing every part of your body. Focus on your breath and body sensations. Inhale to the count of 4 and exhale to the count of 6. Repeat until you fall asleep.
Sleep is crucial for many body functions: it supports memory, increases longevity, reduces stress and heart problems, and enhances metabolism.
Remember that we carry the energy of our day into the night, so try to keep your day peaceful. You can also use natural sleeping aids such as a magnesium, omega 3 or vitamin D supplement, herbs, homeopathy, aromatherapy or Back flowers if all else fails.
If you still cannot sleep despite all these tips, there may be a medical issue underlying that needs your attention. I often find in my practice that when the guts are damaged, so is the brain. Healing your guts will go a long way towards improving the quality of your sleep.
