Pregnant women cannot use many items during pregnancy to ensure the health of the fetus. During summer, many female friends use essential oils to relieve heat, but essential oils also contain many chemical components. So, can pregnant women soak their feet in wind oil essence?
Pregnant women should use wind oil essence with caution when soaking their feet, as camphor is one of the main components of wind oil essence and has certain toxicity. Therefore, pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy should not use it because it can affect the fetus through the placenta. In addition, newborns should also avoid using essential oils. Otherwise, camphor will seep into the bloodstream through the skin of newborns with its odor, causing jaundice and symptoms such as yellowing and drowsiness throughout the body.
Excessive use of Fengyoujing can cause neurological disorders such as convulsions and seizures in newborns, and even with treatment, it can impair the development of infant brain function. Especially for newborns under the age of three, the use of Fengyoujing should be avoided.
Pregnant women should follow the doctor's advice on medication and not make decisions without authorization. If local medication is effective, systemic medication should be avoided. Before taking medication, it is important to carefully read the drug instructions and avoid using drugs that are contraindicated or used with caution by pregnant women. Medications that have been widely used in pregnant women for many years should be avoided as much as possible, and drugs that are difficult to determine whether they have adverse effects on embryos, fetuses, and newborns should be avoided. Not all medications are suitable for pregnant women, and incorrect use can easily affect the health of the fetus.
