Got a blocked nose n cold these days, 15 weeks. usually i use that eucalyptus balm or put few drops in steam but now im second guessing everything. is it fine to use during pregnancy?
For a blocked nose I just used a little eucalyptus in steam inhalation and it helped, in small amounts it was fine for me. But I never took it internally or used strong oil on skin. If your cold or breathing trouble is serious, please check with your gynac instead of relying on it.
Beta a little eucalyptus oil in hot water for steam is an old trick for congestion. Just dont apply concentrated oil directly or swallow it. And keep the room aired, dont overdo the strong smell.
I am always a bit careful with oils in pregnancy. Light steam inhalation is generally okay but anything applied or taken in I would clear with the gynac first. Better to ask than assume with these things.
