Which group of people should avoid using rosemary oil?

  1. Older adults

  2. Pregnant women or kids

  3. Individuals with allergies

  4. Those with skin sensitivity

The correct answer is: Pregnant women or kids

Rosemary oil contains compounds that can stimulate the uterus and potentially lead to complications during pregnancy. Consequently, pregnant women are often advised to avoid using this oil to minimize any risks to both the mother and the developing fetus. Additionally, children may be more sensitive to certain essential oils and their compounds, which is why this group should also exercise caution. While older adults, individuals with allergies, and those with skin sensitivity may need to consider the use of rosemary oil carefully, the specific concerns surrounding pregnant women and children elevate the urgency of avoiding this oil for their safety.
