Is aromatherapy safe during first trimester

Hello! I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant and wondered if there are any scents I should be avoiding? I love a scented candle, bath oils, pillow spray etc but have been too nervous to use any of them in case it’s not safe. Thank you!

Aromatherapy

:) I haven't done too much research on aromatherapy and of course it won't replace real therapy and real support.

Has anyone been in so much pain that they find it distressing?

I've taken pain meds, I've got a tens machine on, I've used aromatherapy and haven't done much today but the pain is still unbearable. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, what were some things that helped? I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do Thanks x

Interesting relief for Anxiety and Stress

Just search Aromatherapy bracelets. All different types of kinds you will find. Usually I was into the necklace thing. The aromatherapy ones you drop essential oil scent whichever you feel might help calm you down.

I survived from a Panic Attack

I lay there, I grabbed my aromatherapy therapy bracelet which I recently I bought, I had put Jasmine essential oil in it a week ago. As I was experimenting with different oils. So I lay there and took breaths, inhaled the scent. I was able to calm down and fell asleep peacefully.

My intro

I'm trying both short term fixes (breathing, aromatherapy, herbal teas) and also working on some long term assistance such as cleaning up my filthy house.

How much iron supplement to take?

Once I had hiked all day long, another time I was at a campfire for a couple hours and wondered if the smoke helped and that aromatherapy might be viable. Anyways, I hope I can figure this all out eventually. Cheers everyone!

Am I the only one on the planet or do others also experience occasional pain in heart for a second, centre of chest with ecotpics ?

Hi, notice that when I'm stressed, anxious, I get gas bubbles that form in my esophagus and experience indigestion. I notice that this irritates my vagus nerve as it is in the esophagus and that controls the heart's rhythm, so I'll get an ectopic (either a skipped or extra beat) Sometimes I'll get a

Aromatherapy Diffusers

I stopped using candles because of the toxins they produce but like the idea of an aromatherapy diffuser. I hear that peppermint and lavender can be good for breathing problems. Has anyone got one and have they proved beneficial? Thanks in advance.

Reflexology

Oils are supposed to be good and including aromatherapy. Brain medicine from amazon - mostly vitamins. Has anyone tried hypnosis? What do you think of these techniques, quacks or real stimulation?

In our other posts this month we’ll also cover acupuncture, meditation and mindfulness and aromatherapy. Reflexology is massage of the feet or hands (and sometimes the ears, lower legs or face)and combines direct massage touch from the therapist’s hands and energy therapy.

Almost three years in with oligometastatic PCa. Guidance welcome --- are we doing all we should?

Aromatherapy and acupuncture have help tremendously with hot flashes. Effexor had a negligible effect. ______________________________________________ Again, THANK YOU, for any insights and suggestions.
