Aromatherapy For Mother And Baby

How Essential Oils Can Help You Through Pregnancy and Early Childhood



The first guide for mothers to the highly populat practice of aromatherapy by a leading specialist in the subject.

Aromatherapy is now one of the most popular forms of complementary medicine. Essential oils are available over the counter at every health store and can be used-with expert advice-not only in massage but also to relieve specific symptoms. Allison England-who has her own specialist clinic for mothers and babies-is a passionate advocate of the many benefits essential oils can bring both during pregnancy and after a child is born. In this definitive and unique guide she deals with every aspect of the subject-from the side-effects of being pregnant, like morning sickness, varicose veins and cellulite to how to prevent stretch marks and ease nipple soreness. There is a special section on massaging your baby. A pilot study using Allison England's products was carried out recently at the maternity unit of Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon. The results were startingly successful and are soon to be the basis of an article in THE LANCET.
