I get bad headaches and usually rub a bit of axe oil on my forehead, it always helps me. Now that im pregnant (12 weeks) im scared to use it. Is the strong smell or the oil a problem? anyone still using it?
We always had such balms at home and I used a little for headache. The smell felt very strong though when pregnant, so I used less. Just keep it light and external, and check with your doctor if unsure.
I'd be a bit careful with strong oils during pregnancy. A tiny amount externally for relief is one thing, but dont rely on it. If you have a bad headache that doesnt go, especially with BP issues, please call your gynac instead.
A little on the forehead or temple for a headache is usually okay for most, but those oils are strong. I'd keep it minimal and avoid putting it on the belly. If you get frequent headaches, better mention to your doc.
Beta a small dab for cold or headache many of us have used. But the smell can be strong and irritating in pregnancy. Use very little and not near the tummy. If headaches keep coming, do ask the doctor.
