Re: A pregnancy aromatherapy mix? Dangerous

Aromatherapy can be of huge benefit, and can help to soothe the extra strains placed upon woman’s body during pregnancy - strengthening the body, reducing stretch marks and fluid retention, and easing the increasing aches and pains as baby gets bigger. Massage treatments are suitable from the second trimester.
