Cinnamon bark oil


Cinnamon bark oil is a natural analgesic and can be used to relieve the pain of various complaints, including rheumatism.

This aromatic oil also has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anti-spasmodic properties. Aromatherapists use cinnamon to ease constipation, flatulence and scabies.

Cinnamon can be good for low blood pressure.

It is also an emmenagogue, used in aromatherapy to induce and regulate menstruation.

This particular plant essence should not be used in pregnancy and can cause irritation to sensitive skin.

Design your own baby ?

X rays during early pregnancy ??


X-rays can harm an unborn baby.

If a baby receives more than 5,000 millirads of radiation from x-rays before birth, the baby might have birth defects.

The x-rays might cause leukemia.

Most x-rays give much smaller doses of radiation than this.

For example, during an x-ray of the legs, only 1 millirad is absorbed.

Although only a small amount of radiation may be absorbed, x-rays should be avoided, especially in early pregnancy.
This is why x-ray technologists may ask when you had your last menstrual period before taking an x-ray.

X-ray studies are done during pregnancy only in urgent cases.

For example, you may have an x-ray if you have a broken bone, to check for pneumonia, or to look for kidney stones.

When taking an x-ray, the technologist should put a lead apron over you to protect the baby.


However, this may not be possible if the apron will interfere with the necessary views (for example, x-rays of the chest).

Ultrasound machines do not use radiation. Often an ultrasound scan can be done instead of an x-ray.
