I get bad headaches and usually I just rub some zandu balm on my forehead, its my go to. Now that im pregnant (around 9 weeks) im scared to use anything. Is applying balm externally ok during this time? anyone checked with their doc?
These strong balms have menthol and camphor, so I would use them very sparingly and not on the belly. I asked my gynac and she said a tiny bit on the temple or back for headache is okay occasionally. Best to check with your doctor before regular use.
Beta a little balm on the head for headache we always used. But thoda sa only and not near the stomach. For body pain a warm cloth is gentler, and do ask the doctor if pain is often.
A small amount on the forehead or neck for a headache is usually fine, but dont slather it or use it on your tummy. The smell is strong so go light. If headaches are frequent, better mention it to your doctor.
