Can you use Pepermint Oil while be pregnant?

Question

I was wondering if you can use pepermint oil while pregnant? I want to make a relaxing blend, but I'm TTC, and want to make sure I will still be abled to use it if I become pregnant.

Answer 1

Stick with Lavender.

Answer 2

"In small doses such as in tea or chewing gum, peppermint is generally believed to be safe in healthy, non-pregnant, non-allergic adults."

I am therefore led to believe you should avoid it.
