Would blowing out and zipping up also help? While in Miami there was a

party in the lobby one night. The next am as I walked across it, I felt like

I got slimed. Had to do the whole routine, but immediate intuition was

hookup, blowout, zipup.

perineal tears management question

 

Hi Sonya;

Hopefully you received my call in answer? Here's a bit more, and I'll

repeat for those following this discussion. It sounds like the usual

care is in place by what I know, unless the sitz herbs might be

tweaked. Also, I've seen some midwives strong to encourage those

willing, to spend as much time bare-tushed as possible, alowing more

air and possibly sunlight contact; this would help a lot.

 

I would be suggesting the Young Living Claraderm spray, at least go

through one bottle and if still needing more support, probably the

other measures or the lavender will do it. THis product has many

healing eoils in it including lavender and helichrysum and is quite

clean of any chemical pollutants. Dr. Gary Young (founder of the Young

Living EOils company) designed it for his wife at 52 or maybe with her

second baby it was at 56.

 

Yes I would use the lavender oil front end also because if the tears

were deep, a stronger application of the essential oil will speed the

body's supports for tissue integration and healing; although she needs

to be explained that, like iodine, any organic/therapeutic grade

essential oil has some antimicrobial and oxgenating support and will

often sting a bit with bacterial dieoff. BUT, lavender is a mild

analgesic, as well as very good for healing damaged tissues, which

helps balance the experience. I would use it on myself neet (straight),

and if the (temporary) sting bothered, I'd just have any

carrier/massage oil on hand for a little dilution (NOT WATER, it is the

moisture which enhances the sting possiblity, driving the oil to move

in due to the oil/water non-mix factor).

 

We do not have formal research data on these recs, so I can only say,

what I would do, even when based upon experience).

 

You will I'm sure be interested to know that some use lavender

vaginally for sexual enhancement. It is a bit intense, but certainly

not damaging! And Others use it vaginally as part of protocols for

cervical displasia, and other issues.

 

The oil of choice for those who can afford it is hellichrysum, which is

the BEST for healing tissues including nerve, and for both scar tissue

and pain (among many other great virtues). Lavender has a good dose of

the key bioconstituent for supporting scar healing (I didn't retain the

name, it is on one of my recent sources) I help some of my postpartum C-

section clients who want the best to order their own for consistent

use.

 

My experience with helichrysum is very individually specific in terms

of how long it takes to effect the healing, although Vicki Opfer

reports it stops intense bleeding on contact when there is a wound.

Perinatally, we have other herbs/tinctures that do this, but for say,

menopausal heavy bleeding, they don't work. I used helichrysum

vaginally along with frankincense, myrrh and a blend Immupower to

dissolve early stage cervical cancer. Felt great!

 

How is she doing? It has been several days since your call ...

>I have a client who has bad tears on her perineum she had the baby 2

weeks ago and still is uncomfortable. No foul smell and no itching.

She is laying pretty low and not doing too much. Question is what kind

of essential oil is good for tears and can it be applied topically?

Any other recommendations? She is doing sitz baths and is using herbs

for sitz baths and peribottle

 

 

 

Hi Ladies,

 

I have enjoyed the immense knowledge and wisdom that exists on this site.

Thank you for sharing. As a midwife (for five years) and a doula for 19

years, I have been amazed at how few products there are that do a good job of

helping the perineum heal. I agree that helicrysum can be very effective in

wound healing. Unfortunately, a high-quality, therapeutic grade of helicrysum

is

often hard to find and can be very costly for a mom to buy on her own. To

this end, I have developed two products for this purpose. I don't want to

advertise on this site but if you are interested, I can share them with you.
