Essential Oils & Breastfeeding: Are They Safe?
Overview:
It is estimated that the essential oil market industry will reach $11.67 billion by 2022. Many essential oils are safe for the general populous, but what about for pregnant or lactating mothers—or their children? In this program, you’ll learn about a variety of commonly-used essential oils during the postpartum period, cautions for their use in breastfeeding mothers, and several questions that the breastfeeding mother should raise. You’ll learn how to differentiate among specific oils, why they have a therapeutic value, and how to find credible resources. The goal of this learning program is to help you recognize basic concepts and safety precautions for breastfeeding mothers when using essential oils, with a focus on how a mother can assure the safe use of essential oils for herself, her breastfed infant, and her older children.
