Essential Oils - Pregnancy & Newborns
Essential oils can play a wonderful role as one prepares to become a mother. They have additional advantages after the arrival of the little bundle of joy. Consider these uses and benefits of natural, aromatic essential oils.
Essential Oils During Pregnancy
Pregnancy can be a both a physically and psychologically uncomfortable time. Physical strain, hormonal changes and worries about our futures can combine to create significant anxiety and discomfort.
Fortunately, many women have discovered that aromatherapy based on natural, wholesome essential oils can remedy the situation. Essential oils create a comfortable, relaxing environment and have an amazing ability to shift our moods and perspectives in positive directions.
Essential oils, properly diluted, can also be a fantastic component of prenatal massages. Massage often reduces the physical pain of pregnancy while dramatically reducing stress levels. When conducted with the right blends of essential oils, these massages take on additional dimensions of pleasure and calm.
Prenatal massage is also an opportunity for mother, father and baby to bond with one another. Sharing gentle, loving touch in an environment infused with the proper aromas can be an unforgettable, unifying experience for the growing family.
Essential Oils During Labor
Essential oils can be a great addition to the childbirth experience. The right oils can serve as an airborne disinfectant and will create a relaxing atmosphere.
Some essential oils can contribute to the labor process in very special ways. Geranium, for instance, is a breathing and circulatory aid. Neroli calms the mother, reducing the fears that may accompany childbirth. Rosemary used on the perineum is great during the 2nd stage of labour. Ylang Ylang is another relaxing essential oil that can aid in reducing the mother’s blood pressure. Other examples of the positive medicinal impact of essential oils abound.
Many women fondly recount their personal experiences with essential oils during delivery and any expectant mother or midwife should consider making them an integral part of the big moment.
Essential Oils and Your Newborn
We all want to welcome our new babies into the best environment possible, and essential oils can help us.
Properly diffused essential oils have a variety of therapeutic effects. They can disinfect the surrounding environment, contribute to the reduction in of discomfort and symptoms related to common illnesses and create welcoming, serene surroundings for newborn babies.
Essential oils can also be part of the important bonding experience between mother and child. Utilizing the right oils during baby massages allows one to experience an emotionally and psychologically invaluable experience while also physically helping the infant. Medical research links baby massage to improved digestion, stronger immune systems, better sleep and a host of other benefits.
Using the Right Essential Oils
Many women use essential oils as part of their regular skincare regimens. While it is possible to continue to utilize many essential oils during pregnancy to combat rashes, acne and dry skin, mothers-to-be should take caution to avoid oils that are contraindicative to pregnancy.
Essential oils can, and should be, a part of pregnancy, childbirth and welcoming newborns into the world. However, mothers should make a point of using only those individual and blended essential oils designed specifically with their unique circumstances in mind.
