Soothing Mama Bath Soak 

1/2 Cup Epsom Salt
4-5 drops Geranium
2 drops Lavender
1 drops Cypress
1 drop Juniper
1 drop frankincense

For a deep-water soak, double or triple this recipe.

Smooth Mama Comfort Blend (blend together and put in a roller bottle)

10 drops Geranium
4 drops Lavender
2 drop Cypress
2 drops Juniper
2 drop frankincense
fill with carrier oil (optional)

Multiply and/or dilute as necessary.

When using on the bum area after natural childbirth (where there’s been a whole lot of pushing going on), to me, it was soothing to apply it neat (undiluted, without a carrier oil); but my friend said “neat” was way too intense for her. So, try it diluted in a few tablespoons of coconut or jojoba oil the first time. You can also apply oil blend to cotton pads pre-moistened with pure witch hazel.

Other ways to be kind to your leg during pregnancy:

• Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time
• Mild exercise (walking, swimming, stretching)
• Put your feet up at night!
• Don’t sit cross-legged or block circulation.
• Wear loose, comfortable pants or shoes and avoid socks or tight clothing
• Use compression hose
• Try to avoid long car or plane rides. If traveling during pregnancy is a necessity, make sure you stand up frequently and stretch your legs, moving your ankles in a circular motion as often as possible.
