Unless you’re a trained aromatherapist, for most of us, we see essential oils and think “Ooo, healthy!” As it turns out, different seasons of wellness call for different oils -and some oils are actually unsafe at particular times. It’s not all that technical, but we invite you to lean-in and learn more about essential oils and your health!<\/p>\n

Where the Conversation Started: Essential Oils & Pregnancy<\/h3>\n

To be completely transparent, this dialogue comes out of Dhana’s journey. Back in 2019 we found ourselves in the presence of fertility companies left, right and centre. Dhana already had a range of products suiting a toxin-free niche within which we were proud to be operating. See the carefully selected minimalist ingredient-list, from which Dhana creates its products.<\/a><\/p>\n

The IVF journey, on which many friends were embarking, created an interesting opportunity to take toxin-free one step further and create 100% fertility-friendly products – it turns out we were already there, but first were led down a complicated journey, before realizing clarity in what we’d established, already.<\/p>\n

Fertility experts were telling us we’d need to re-certify our products with fertility-friendly essential oils. Only, as it turns out there is inconsistency in the safety knowledge related to these plant oils. Rather than listening to other brands, claiming to be experts, we’ve taken this dialogue to the UK’s NHS, university health centres, and aromatherapy experts elsewhere to obtain a comparative and comprehensive essential oil report. With some information obtain from websites, and others from direct email correspondence, let us share the results:<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Dhana’s formulas have never used Hyssop or Tansy (whatever they are?!) Anise, Wintergreen, Wormwood or Parsley, all commonly discussed as no-no’s. The list goes further…\u00a0<\/p>\n
