Replacing Medications with Essential Oils is Dangerous
Manage episode 305273000 series 2976768
Someone contacted me this evening asking if it was safe for her daughter (breastfeeding a 3-month-old) to take copaiba softgels instead of Z0l0ft. I was able to share with her how dangerous it is to replace medications (especially strong mental health ones) with essential oils.
PLEASE do not replace strong medications with essential oils!
PLEASE do not listen to people who sell you essential oils who tell you that you can.
You could rebound! You could feel worse!
This must be done under supervision by a medical professional (like your doctor, or a naturopath or someone who can monitor you).
Essential oils are amazing! But PLEASE use responsibly.
This is Lea Jacobson empowering you to use essential oils safely. I hope you learned something new today. Tell a friend about our podcasts so they can learn, too. All episodes are available at LeaJacobson.com/podcast.
