Swollen Ankles and Feet
* In a large basin of lukewarm to coolish water, add 1/2 a cup of Epsom salts, pre-mixed with 2 drops each of lavender and roman chamomile essential oils.
* Soak for 15-20 minutes, then dry feet.
* Slightly elevate the feet and give yourself some quality relaxation time.
* Whenever needed, take 3 deep breaths - inhaling directly from the bottle.
Foot Reflexology
* Mix a single drop of both lavender and roman chamomile essential oils to 1 tsp. of jojoba carrier oil.
* Apply to both feet, then gently rub and press the reflex points listed above.
* Do this for a total of 10-15 minutes.
* Slightly elevate the feet, breathing in the aroma - allowing it to calm and relax your entire being (the jojoba oil will quickly be absorbed into the skin).
Caution Care
* Avoid applying direct pressure to the uterus and ovary reflex points. You do not want to over-stimulate the reproductive system while it’s busy creating a new person!
* Always work with a light touch and start by gradually applying reflexology - every few days.
* Do not apply reflexology if there has been past issues with carrying a pregnancy to full term.
* Use only pure essential oils.
* Do not use any essential oil that has stimulating qualities (examples: rosemary, peppermint).
* Do not apply essential oils directly to the skin without first diluting with a carrier oil.
When used with care and respect, Aromatherapy and Reflexology are a natural, gentle means of bringing great comfort and support to pregnancy. They create a loving environment…for the precious life being formed.
