Is aromatherapy a helpful treatment for pregnancy symptoms?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: To my knowledge there are no randomized controlled studies demonstrating benefits of aromatherapy for north american women with symptoms generally due to pregnancy. However, we look forward to more studies on alternative therapy for many conditions.

Nope: No, and what you inhale can be toxic. Don't take even the slightest chance of harming the fetus.
