essential oil blend

I have been using a product called "Udo's Choice" perfect oil blend - which is a blend of flax, borage,evening primrose, and sesame oil. I recently found out I am pregnant (technically 5 weeks, gestational age 3 weeks). Is it helpful to continue consuming this oil blend, or can evening primrose oil be a problem?

Hi, Caroline.

Statistically, your child will have an IQ 10% higher BECAUSE you are taking the essential oils. The child's propensity for getting ADH, etc., will be reduced at least by 50%.

Would that we could get everyone of child bearing age to do this before and during pregnancy!!!

The AMA is finally behind this as regards folic acid (20 years after it's importance was discovered). It will likely only take 10 years for them to get behind the essential oils helping brain development but we'll see.
