EspañolIs rosemary oil safe during pregnancy?
Use diluted, and check with your provider
Essential oils are not well studied in pregnancy. The general guidance is to use them diluted on skin (typically 1–2%), keep the first trimester exposure low, ventilate when diffusing, and never take them by mouth. Tea tree and lavender additionally carry weak endocrine-activity signals in case reports. Rosemary, juniper and peppermint are traditionally cautioned at high doses.
