Pregnancy is a particular period of a woman's life which can be supported with a
gentle massage with special essential oils and base oils.
Touch in pregnancy is very important to both mother and baby. If a pregnant
mother's belly is massaged with care, the baby will respond in a positive way.
Even during labour, Massage and Aromatherapy may offer enormous benefits to the mother.
Because of hormonal and physiological changes the mother-to-be may suffer from:
- Back pain
- Shoulder tension
- Circulation problems in arms, hands, legs
- Fatigue
- Stretch marks
- Headaches
- Swollen ankles
- Anxiety
- Mood swings
- Sleep disturbances
To relieve herself from such conditions, the mother-to-be can take a massage.
A back massage while seated upright in a chair or a whole body massage while
lying on her side can provide the mother-to-be relief. Additionally, reflexology
or Bach Flower Remedies may provide comfort.
