How to Beat Bloating with Essential Oils?

[@Nadiyah69]

Isnt fennel used in the mothers milk tea to assist in milk production?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Yes! Dried Fennel (the herb) is often used in tea to stimulate milk production for new mothers. The essential oil of Fennel is much more potent and we advise caution when using it with pregnant or nursing mothers.

Just wondering exactly what chemical component in fennel makes it unsafe to use in pregnancy, breastfeeding or estrogen sensitive people?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Yasmin! The component trans-anethole (ether) is considered to have estrogenic effects. It is therefore advised not to use the oil during pregnancy, breastfeeding, with estrogen-dependent cancers, and with people who have endometriosis, and children under five years of age. 💜

Is there a carrier oil i can use in place of jojoba?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Chantelle! Avocado oil or argan oil would be ideal, but any carrier oil you love would work. We’d recommend using one with very little aroma. 💜
