Although pregnant, some pregnant women may experience spots or acne on their skin due to pregnancy reactions. To avoid such situations, pregnant women will take targeted prevention and treatment measures. So what are the effects of tea tree essential oil on pregnant women?
1. Whether it is tea tree essential oil or other essential oils, it is usually not recommended for pregnant women to use because the molecular weight of essential oils is very small and may come into contact with the mother's skin. These small molecules will enter the skin very quickly and then penetrate into the bloodstream. Essential oils will accelerate the speed of blood circulation and are likely to be absorbed by the fetus, which will have an impact on the health of the fetus. Therefore, tea tree essential oil or other essential oils are not suitable for pregnant women to use.
2. Although tea tree essential oil has a good effect on removing acne and pimples on the face, compared to other essential oils, tea tree essential oil has stronger permeability. If it penetrates into the bloodstream through the skin, it will accelerate blood circulation, especially for mothers in early pregnancy. The risk is even greater, and in severe cases, it can lead to miscarriage.
3. If essential oils are used without the pregnant mother's knowledge or understanding of the situation, but the amount used is not large, do not worry or panic too much. You can go to the hospital for a physical examination to check whether the pregnant mother and the fetus are healthy and normal. Even if essential oils need to be used, they must be used with the consent of a doctor.
