Even though several plants can improve the female reproductive function, the use of herbs, herbal preparations, or essential oils during pregnancy is questionable. This review is focused on the effects of some essential oils and their constituents on the female reproductive system during pregnancy and on the development of the fetus. The major concerns include causing abortion, reproductive hormone modulation, maternal toxicity, teratogenicity, and embryo-fetotoxicity. This work summarizes the important studies on the reproductive effects of essential oil constituents anethole, apiole, citral, camphor, thymoquinone, -sabinyl acetate, methyl salicylate, thujone, pulegone, β-elemene, β-eudesmol, and costus lactone, among others.
尽管有几种植物可以改善女性生殖功能，但在怀孕期间使用草药、草药制剂或精油是有问题的。本综述重点介绍了一些精油及其成分对妊娠期间女性生殖系统和胎儿发育的影响。主要关注点包括引起流产、生殖激素调节、母体毒性、致畸性和胚胎-胎儿毒性。这项工作总结了关于精油成分茴香脑、川白芷素、柠檬醛、樟脑、百里醌、-蛇床子基醋酸盐、水杨酸甲酯、侧柏酮、黄樟素、β-榄香烯、β-桉叶醇和菖蒲二酮等对生殖系统影响的重要研究。
