Aromatherapy - jasmine oil?

Xuxa · Aug 1st, 2011, 09:45 AM

I know it's not advised during pregnancy, but does anyone know why? I was looking for aromatherapy candles to use while practicing my relaxation techniques and found one that i LOVED!!but it's geranium, rose and jasmine.
What do you think?

LABOUR

Jasmine

"Jasmine is noted for its properties in preparing the uterine muscles for labour.

AVOID using jasmine during the first eight months of pregnancy then use daily as a massage oil on the abdomen and lower back. In the delivery room it will help to promote focus and strength. Whereas rose is regarded as the queen of aromatherapy oil, jasmine is the king. The oil is extracted from millions of tiny flowers hand-picked before dawn."

Apparently to have a candle with Jasmine oil is not such a big problem... I will def use the oil during labor

As an aromatherapist I would say the candle is fine but don't use oils like Jasmine and Rose till you are 40 weeks. Enjoy them!

Candles tend to have weak concentrations of oil, whereas using essential oil directly in a burner will be stronger. My questions to you would be:
- why do you want to use them?
- what oils do you want to use?

i bought a jasmine and grapefruit oil blend to use in labour, but as i like the smell have used it in burner a couple of times. i had not read anything that said jasmine is not to use in pregnancy.
