Avoid in Pregnancy: White flower oil(bai hua yu) is a fragrant chinese herbal oil formula used for aches and pains & sore muscles. It should be avoided in pregnancy as many sources state it could be associated with toxicity, alterations in blood flow and possibly contractions. If okay with your OB you could try swimming, walking or gentle stretching, massage or yoga but let instructors/therapist know you are pregnant.

White flower oil: White flower embrocation contains eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, wintergreen oil & menthol. In general, I tend to recommend against using substances which are not required during pregnancy. I would recommend against use of this essential oil while pregnant.

Probably: White flower oil contains chinese herbs which of course, is not regulated by the fda. The active ingredients are wintergreen, camphor and menthol. As usual, i wouldn't use anything during the first trimester unless absolutely necessary. It should be used only topically and should not be ingested.
