If essential oils are so dangerous, why are so many products for mother and baby available that contain essential oils?
It is not that the essential oils are dangerous, it is the combined load of lots of different chemicals that is of concern (essential oils are a form of naturally found chemicals).

We do care, and we generally avoid using essential oils during pregnancy to lessen the chemical load. Click here for an article about the everyday toxic concerns during pregnancy.
