title says it all. im going to try making my own shower gel/shampoo/ handwash etc. just not sure which essential oils are safe to use in pregnancy.
"it's better than a poke in the eye with a pointy stick" - my dad, regularly throughout my childhood when I complained about something being too small/not perfect/not tasty/not what I wanted. he was right every time.

Well, lavender is pretty mild, but the general consensus amongst the soap and toiletry makers that I know, tends to be to avoid all EO's.0

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0

Some practitioners say you shouldn't use any oils when pregnant others say different. I really would get proffesional advice. Even lavender is a dueretic (sp) and I know that was the last thing I wanted when I was pregnant:)0
