Essential balm is prohibited for pregnant women, parturients and newborns, as well as those with burns, skin diseases and ulcers with a depth of more than 2 degrees. Do not apply essential balm to eyes and vulva to avoid discomfort. Stop using it when the skin is red and itchy after external application.
2. One of the main components of essential balm is peppermint, which is extracted from the leaves and stems of peppermint. The white crystal with molecular formula C 10H20O is the main component of peppermint and peppermint oil.
China and Brazil are the largest producers of natural mint in the world, with an annual output of 2,000-3,000 tons. Medically used as an irritant drug, it acts on skin or mucous membrane, and has the effect of cooling and relieving itching. Internal medicine can be used as a wind-expelling drug for headache, nasal, pharyngeal and laryngeal inflammation.
Therefore, infants contained in essential balm cannot use essential balm and other medicinal oils. Because the medicinal oil contains mint, it can reduce the milk secretion of lying-in women, and at the same time it will have a certain stimulating effect, so it is not suitable for babies to drink. In addition, camphor can penetrate into the blood through the baby's skin, destroy red blood cells, easily cause jaundice in the baby, and damage the brain function of the baby.
In short, when breast-feeding women use drugs, they usually only pay attention to whether the drugs affect milk secretion, but rarely consider the effects of drugs on babies, or simply don't know which drugs have an impact on babies. In fact, many drugs will enter the baby with the mother's milk, thus affecting the baby. Although the concentration of some drugs entering milk is very low, the harm to young babies is enormous.
