The remarkable and very scary changes our bodies undergo during pregnancy lead to many discomforts.  Just the morning sickness and fatigue is enough to lower a pregnant woman’s spirits.  And since nearly all medicines and traditional remedies are off-limits to expecting moms, natural methods come as a great relief to help ease these symptoms.




While some pregnant women feel great during pregnancy, this is unfortunately not the case for many.  In addition to proper nutrition and regular exercise, the use of herbs and aromatherapy during the later part of your pregnancy can alleviate many common complaints.

Note: as recommended for most things, it is important that you do not use essential oils during the first trimester of your pregnancy. However, they have many wonderful uses in the last two trimesters and especially during labor.  Most importantly, inhaling essential oils rather than directly applying them to your skin,  is the safest method  to positively affect your overall physical and emotional well-being.

The most frequently used scents for pregnancy are:
  • Lavender
    restores unbalanced states to a more harmonious state, and has been said to strengthen contractions. Also helps calm the irritated, fretful or nervous person.
  • Bergamot A “ray of sunshine.” This is said to be uplifting, light and refreshing.
