Looks like they are different parts of the same plant, but that doesn’t seem too conclusive. Perhaps they are different names for the same herb. https://www.livestrong.com/article/458817-nettle-root-versus-stinging-nettle/

Oh friend! I would not worry. I would recommend discontinuing use of that particular remedy for now, but your baby won’t be affected by that small amount of wintergreen additive. The first 10 weeks of pregnancy are the most important weeks to protect, as the baby’s vital organs are developing. At 19 weeks the baby is much stronger. (But do continue to protect him/her!) I hope you are feeling better already, and I hope that your pregnancy is smooth and filled with joy and rest and anticipation 🙂 Have a great Monday!

Also, just FYI, essential oils are not homeopathic medicine. Homeopathy is a completely different genre of natural medicine prescribed using the law of similars, or “like cures like”.
Ie, A great excess of arnica can cause bruising and muscle pain, but when properly diluted into a homeopathic medicine, arnica will cure such similar symptoms.
They may both be natural, but they are not both homeopathic.

Christina, sorry for the delay! My EO textbook, “Modern Essentials”, did not state much of anything regarding Eucalyptus and breastfeeding. I would not worry about one dose, I would worry more about consistent or daily use. Thanks for asking! Hope you and your little one are very well today 🙂

I’m a nursing momma and, without thinking, I took eucalyptus herbal extract, about .5 ml. I’m holding off nursing for a bit, but do you know what danger eucalyptus poses to a nursing baby? I couldn’t find an answer anywhere!

Hey Courtney! Yay, any boost in milk supply is a reason to celebrate!
It would not have the same effect to inhale or diffuse the oil. Topical application always has the highest percentage of absorption. Not to say that diffusing or inhaling wouldn’t help increase supply, but they would not be AS effective as topical.
You may want to apply the oil elsewhere on your body, since the oil is literally being absorbed directly into your breast tissue and released through your milk. Over time, it could cause damage to your infant’s delicate system.
Other recommended areas for topical use include the back of the neck, back of the wrist, and the soles of your feet.
Best of luck with your breastfeeding and your little one! Blessings upon blessings!

Thanks Maria, I will have to take a look at that. Sorry for the miscommunication, thanks for catching my mistake 🙂
