    Vaporiser & Eucylptus oil during 3rd trimester?

    Hi everyone,

    I've started to come down with a shocking cold - bad sinus pain, crappy feeling throat, sneezy and just feel.. well.. like crap!!!

    Just wondering if anyone knows if its ok to have the vaporiser with eucy oil in it in my bedroom to help keep my nose clear? I know there was some concern about using essential oils during pregnancy, but can't remember what you aren't supposed to do with them!!!!

    If anyone knows anything it would be greatly appreciated. I feel like death warmed up...

    I got the flu pretty bad just days before having Emily, and I used my vapouriser with Euky Bear oils. I actually didn't even think twice about whether it was ok or not (ooops!). I'll have a look at their website and get back to you.

    Okay, well I *think* that inhalation isn't the big issue anyway, what you need to be wary of is when you're putting certain essential oils directly on your skin (like with massage).

    I looove eucalyptus, and use it all the time, used it all through my pregnancy, for what it's worth.

    I have been in that situation just this past few days but with dd. She has had croope(sp) real bad. We had her in our room with the vap. on but I know in the past the Chemist have said to use it without the oil when you are pg. It did just as good job for dd, I got some sleep so you might want to try it without the oil & ask the chemist tomorrow.

    I'd be checking on that - I was told earlier in this pregnancy not to use eucalyptus in any shape or form. I don't know the facts on it, but it was someone on BB who told me not to use it.
