It’s one thing being the customer receiving the treatment, as you would only be exposed occasionally and for a relatively brief time. It is another thing if you are the aromatherapist, using these oils on a daily basis for much of the day. The aromatherapist is at much higher risk of both irritant and allergic reactions which might then be hard to treat, as the products used in such treatment (usually steroids) might not be acceptable for someone who is pregnant.
