Boost energy during pregnancy with Aromatherapy
During pregnancy your body is undergoing enormous change, turning a few cells into a living and breathing human being. It’s no wonder that energy levels can take a dive, particularly in the first and last pregnancy trimesters. Sleep can also become disrupted as your pregnancy progresses, with some women finding it hard to get comfortable in bed. Our essential oils expert, Aromatherapist Jo Kellett shares some essential oil blends to help boost energy during pregnancy for women experiencing energy dips.
Jo says: “Growing babies take a lot of energy from their mothers, so many pregnant women feel tired throughout the 40 weeks. Whilst it’s a really good idea to rest and slow down during the latter stages of pregnancy, you can boost energy from the second trimester. Use essential oils to invigorate and enliven your body from the second trimester and provide deep relaxation in the third. Just make sure you’re using the pregnancy-safe blends".
Add the following essential oils to an Aroma Spa Diffuser:
2 drop of Cardamom – Cardamom ellettaria
2 drops of May Chang – Litsea cubeba
4 drops of Mandarin – Citrus nobilis
Add the following essential oils to an Aroma Spa Diffuser:
2 drops of Lavender – Lavandula angustifolia
1 drop of Chamomile (Roman) – Anthemis nobilis
5 drops of Bergamot – Citrus bergamia
*If you have any concerns about you or your babies’ health during pregnancy you should consult your Midwife or Obstetrician. The use of essential oils is complimentary to your well-being during your pregnancy and does not take the place of orthodox medical care*
