During the second trimester of pregnancy, which is at the 16th week of
pregnancy, it is safe to begin to use aromatherapy and essential oils to
help ease the discomfort of pregnancy.
The most versatile essential oil, which is essential to have during
pregnancy, is Lavender oil. Lavender heals cuts, scrapes, burns and
other skin ailments with lightening speed. Lavender can also be used as
a warm compress to ease the tenderness of breasts during pregnancy.
Peppermint oil is also very useful during pregnancy but must be used
with care. Have someone else dab a drop of peppermint oil onto a tissue,
and then carry it in a sealed plastic baggie. Peppermint oil is aid to
quickly ward off nausea with one quick sniff. Another mixture that can
be effective for nausea relief is a by diffusing Petitgrain and
Mandarin, or by misting them onto a tissue.
Patchouli oil, has for some women helped ease the pain of leg cramps,
however not all pregnant women have found this to be true. As the uterus
expands with your growing fetus, frankincense can help to ease the
breathing burden.
In the final trimester, perennial pressure can cause great discomfort.
Sometimes a mere change in position can bring relief, but when it
doesnąt, massaging the area with an essential oil, such as apricot or
sweet almond, followed by compresses of Lavender water can help to
relieve the pressure.
What about stretch marks? They are a fact of pregnancy; however carrier
oil, such as cold pressed jojoba can help to diminish the appearance of
stretch marks. You can also massage areas that are affected with stretch
marks with a mixture of frankincense oil and mandarin oil diluted in
sweet almond oil and wheat germ.
The big question that most women want to know is if aromatherapy can
help during labor and delivery. The answer is a resounding yes! This is
one of the best times to utilize aromatherapy, especially to help induce
calmness and comfort. If aromatherapy is used in conjunction with other
forms of natural pain relief, such as self-hypnosis, visualization,
Lamaze and massage, the need for mainstream pain medicines may
evaporate.
For labor only, diffusing Jasmine in the room can help stimulate the
contractions and promote calming. Also used for labor time only is Clary
Sage. If contractions are irregular or slow in early labor, a warm bath
with six drops of Clary Sage oils will help increase the contractions
and regulate them.
After delivery, especially for women who required an episiotomy, a blend
of Lavender and Rosehip will help the incision heal.
