Herb Of The Week - Helichrysum - Pre-Natal and Post Partum Perineum Care Recipes

[Guest guest]

Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) can be a useful oil in blends

designed for helping the perineum in the preparation of birth labor and

certain post partum perineum conditions: Here are some blends I

have/would use ...

 

Pre-natal perineum massage oil blend

2 drops geranium - Pelargonium graveolens (or rose geranium -

Pelargonium roseum)

2 drops lavender - Lavandula angustifolia

1 drop frankincense - Boswellia frareana

1 drop helichrysum 10% oil - Helichrysum italicum

10 ml jojoba or fractionated coconut

 

Massage a few drops into the perineum 2 - 3x daily for the last 6 - 8

weeks of pregnancy to help keep this region supple and elastic.

 

Post Partum perineum healing oil blend

20 ml rose hip seed oil

10 ml calendula infused oil

5 drops lavender oil - Lavandula angustifolia

3 drops blue chamomile oil - Matricaria chamomilla

2 drops helichrysum 10% oil - Helichrysum italicum

 

Apply a few drops once or twice daily after taking a sitz bath.
