Floral scent has certain effect in disease
cure, but if too sweet and strong, it becomes the number one enemy causing foetal
derangement or miscarriage in pregnant women.
The ancient Chinese often praise the use of
floral scent in therapeutics. It helps enhance memory, cognitive ability of
human beings. But in fact, this effect only works with some kinds of flowers
and some people. One expert from Chinese Association of Food Industry
recommends that too strong scent is not good to pregnant women’s health.
Pregnant

The expert explains that the too strong floral
scent may stimulate the nerve of pregnant women, causing headache, nausea,
vomit, and bad effect to appetite. In serious situation, floral scent may cause
foetal
derangement, or even miscarriage.

Pollen contains some chemical components.
If pregnant women inhale or touch it, they easily get allergic. The stronger
the scent is, the more serious the allergy becomes. So, for women with allergic
skin or respiratory organs, the strong floral scent is a disaster, the expert
said.
In early stage of pregnancy, pregnant women
should minimize exposure to the fresh flowers which have strong and sweet
fragrance like jasmine, oleander, poinsettia flowers (also known as the
Christmas flower) ... Especially, some flowers releasing carbon dioxide and
absorbing oxygen at night make the amount of oxygen in the room decrease, which
is not good for the health of both mother and baby. It is best not to put these
kinds of flower in the bedroom. You should also avoid contacting with the
strong floral fragrance outside.
The expert also suggests that pregnant women
should grow aloe and cactus at home. These kinds of plants have light, pure
fragrance, release oxygen at night, making room air become clear. Even the aloe
Vera is considered “valuable thing”, absorbing toxic in the room such as
formaldehyde.
