Discussion about Applying Castor Oil on Belly During Pregnancy
Hi Husks, Can I apply castor oil on my belly during pregnancy?
It's generally safe to use castor oil topically on your skin, even during pregnancy. But, it's always a good idea to do a patch test first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction.
Is there any benefit to doing this?
Yes, castor oil can help to keep the skin hydrated and may reduce the appearance of stretch marks. However, there's not enough evidence to confirm that it can prevent stretch marks from forming.
Does it harm my baby in any way?
Applying castor oil topically should not harm your baby. However, you should not ingest castor oil, especially during pregnancy because it can cause contractions and other complications.
Okay, thank you for your advice!
