    Deanne,

    These products contain herbal ingredients that we do not have much information on. Herbal products are not FDA regulated the same as pharmaceuticals meds are. According to the Natural Medicine database most of the ingredients listed above state that there is "insufficient reliable information available avoid using" for pregnancy or breastfeeding. An example being that when camphor is applied to broken skin it could result in systemic absorption and toxicity. We do not have any information on how much of the listed ingredients above could transfer into breast milk, or if they could cross the placental barrier and possibly cause harm to the fetus. So because of the "unknown" we are unable to advise on the safety of these products.

      The only thing I could find on this is from Europe and they seem to be ok with the tea tree oil... but all the other ingrediënts are not listed on those products. Any more specific advice?
