A member asked:
Can you use tea tree oil during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one knows 4 sure: No research is done on humans on safety of most medicinal substances during pregnancy. National Institutes of Health says "Tea tree oil is POSSIBLY SAFE when applied to the skin...it is LIKELY UNSAFE if taken by mouth" during pregnancy. See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/113.html No one knows for sure. I'd avoid during 1st trimester but small amounts on skin prob. OK later on.
