MOTHERS TO BE PACK - ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS

‘I believe that Aromatherapy offers a natural way to maintaining complete health and will enable you to feel and look more alive, energetic and youthful, I also believe in all women to have a beautiful skin because what you do shows on your skin. The great Organic quality of essential oils, well researched will enable you to achieve that ‘.

These individual packs are a great starting point for essential oils. All the oils are 100% Organic, pure, undiluted and easy to use. Not tested on animals.

Organic is also far better for the environment which we have to respect that is why I would use them.

Pregnant, the elderly, children and those with allergies or sensitive skins should always do a skin patch test before using essential oils for the first time. Dip the end of a cotton bud into the smallest amount of essential oil and rub onto the inside of your wrist. Cover with a plaster and leave for 24 hours. After this time, look for any irritation, spots or redness. If you have even the smallest reaction, do not use.
Caution Do not take internally. Do not use undiluted on the skin. If pregnant, use the Mothers-to-be pack.

Mothers To Be Pack - Organic Essential Oils
£45.50

Pregnancy is a time of change so it is important to be in good health – both your physical and emotional circumstances will have an effect on your child’s development. From conception to the first 8-10 weeks the foetus grows at an amazing rate so taking care of your health from the very first is vital if you want a healthy baby.

Essential oils are a wonderful way of treating the many problems that appear at this time. However, they must be used very carefully. Certain oils may make you feel sick but others have more serious consequences so are not advised for use during pregnancy. The essential oils in this pack are very mild and your baby will benefit too – use a very small quantity in your bath, as a room spray or in massage combined with one of the carrier oils included. Your skin will be more sensitive during pregnancy, though, so always test the smallest amount on the inside of your wrist before you use it for the first time.

This pack will see the mum-to-be through all aspects of her pregnancy, from pre-natal care through to labour and after-care. It includes four gentle essential oils and three carrier oils.

Petit Grain Citrus aurantium - Rutaceae (10ml)
Petit grain was one of the first essential oils to be distilled in Grasse in France although, nowadays, it more commonly comes from South America. It is obtained from the leaves and the small green fruits of the orange tree but its fragrance is much cleaner than that of orange. It is wonderfully relaxing and therefore good in most treatments for stress.

Benefits include:
Soothing, rejuvenating
Gentle antiseptic
Aids insomnia and fear

Lemon Citrus medica limonum - Rutaceae (10ml)
Lemon trees have the most exquisitely beautiful aroma that was first noted in 10 BC. The first Arabs referred to it as the medicinal apple while the Ancient Egyptians harnessed their power to protect against spells. Women in the Court of Louis XIV would use the acid in lemons in place of lipstick (they would bite of half a lemon throughout the day to keep their lips rosy). Lemon essential oil is a polyvalent or cure-all and as a result, is great for rejuvenation and general health. It has many restoring and healing properties and is also a wonderful antiseptic and bactericide.

Benefits include:
Bactericide
Antiseptic
Reduces stress
Helps depression
Tonic for the nervous system
Protects against infections
Immunostimulant
Rejuvenating

Roman Chamomile Chamaemelum anthemis nobile - Asteraceae (5ml)
Roman chamomile is the most common variety of chamomile and it is widely used in aromatherapy. Chamaemelum comes from the Greek for ‘apples of the ground’ and this is apt as the plant is low-lying with an apple scent. The people of Northern France considered the plant to be sacred and as it resembled the sun, it was offered as a gift to the sun god Baldur in the hope that it would grant them a fruitful crop. In 1697, Dr Nicolas Lemery called it the universal remedy for women.

Benefits include:
Helps with skin conditions
Helps regulate periods and is good for PMS
Soothes headaches and migraines
Helps eye conditions
Good for digestive problems
Hair care
Reduces fever

Ravensare Ravensare aromatica - auraceae (10ml)
Sometimes referred to as the ‘nutmeg of Madagascar’, Ravensare comes from a bush, rather like the laurel tree, with a red bark. The essential oil is obtained from the leaves and it has a very fresh smell, not dissimilar to that of rosemary. The people of Madagascar have used the oil for healing since Ancient times – I tried it for the first time in Mauritius when I got a sharp sea-urchin needle in my foot. I was in great pain but ravensare soothed the wound and helped to get the needle out. The essential oil has hardly any toxicity and can be applied neat, it is a great substitute for tea tree as it is just as antiseptic but a lot safer to use in pregnancy.

Benefits include:
Aids skin disorders
Helps viral infections
Stimulates the immune system
Soothes nervous disorders
Good antiseptic
Helps pulmonary infections
Aids depression
Eases insomnia
General tonic
Good for back pain

Orange Citrus aurantium dulcis (10ml)
Originating in China, the orange tree is remarkable because every part is utilised for essential oil. The leaves produce petit grain – one of the most important essential oils in aromatherapy. The beautifully scented flowers produce the essential oil of neroli and the skin of the oranges themselves become the essential oil of orange. It is the only tree that gives so many different types of essential oil.

The medicinal properties of oranges were discovered towards the end of the 16th century. The French Pharmocopae advised that the skin be dried then stewed - this was given to the patients in the form of a drink and used in treatments for night fever. The skin was also used to treat constipation and classified as a good diuretic. In 1690, Dr Lazar prescribed orange skin for vertigo, heart palpitations, asthma, travel sickness and post labour pain.

I have successfully used essential oil of orange to treat vein problems, couperose, thread veins, adding micro-circulation and skin congestion. It is also wonderful for wrinkles.

Benefits include:
Soothes nervous disorders and anxiety
Helps with muscle cramps
Good for fatigue
Acts as a sedative
Helps lessen prominent veins
Rejuvenates skin
Anti-ageing
Great for tooth decay, gum sensitivity and bad breath

(Base oils)
Jojoba oil Simmondsia chinensis (50ml)
Jojoba is great for all skin types. It helps get rid of toxins, protects and gives a fresh and glowing look. It is a good base for essential oils.

Wheat germ oil Triticum vulgare (10ml)
Wheat germ is high in vitamin E and is good for dehydrated skin.

Sample Recipe: Relaxing Room Spray
Fill a spray bottle with mineral water and add three drops of essential oil of chamomile, three drops of essential oil of lavender and three drops of essential oil of rose or neroli. Shake well and spray around your bedroom an hour before rest.
