I used Deep Blue all through my pregnancy and always have a bottle handy for my mommies when they visit!
🌿✨ Midwife Tip: Is dōTERRA Deep Blue Safe in Pregnancy & Postpartum? ✨🌿
As a midwife, safety is always my priority especially for mamas-to-be and new parents.
I often get asked: “Can I use Deep Blue while pregnant or postpartum?”
✅ Yes! When used correctly, Deep Blue is a fantastic support for sore muscles, hip/back pain, and postpartum aches.
👉 Key ingredient to know: Camphor.
There are three types:
✅ White Camphor = Safe when diluted, soothing, cooling.
❌ Brown Camphor = Unsafe (contains safrole).
❌ Yellow Camphor = Also unsafe (toxic compounds).
🌿 dōTERRA uses ONLY White Camphor in Deep Blue.
✔️ Pharmaceutical-grade.
✔️ Free of toxic constituents.
✔️ Safe for pregnancy/postpartum use when applied topically and appropriately diluted.
💙 How to use it:
✨ Apply to hips, back, shoulders, feet.
✨ Avoid the belly in pregnancy.
✨ Always dilute more if you have sensitive skin.
🤰 Perfect for:
🌸 Pregnancy hip & back pain
🌸 Postpartum muscle soreness
🌸 Breastfeeding & baby wearing strain
I love having Deep Blue in my birth bag, and many of my clients are so grateful for its cooling, comforting gentle relief.
