Did you know that you can use essential oils to help with pregnancy, babies, and toddlers? I share my favorite recipes for using essential oils for various needs in this blog post!
I’ll be honest with you – before becoming pregnant with my first child I didn’t really know much about the benefits of using essential oils. Now, as a mom of three, I’m so glad that I’ve learned more about how they can help me manage some common issues such as morning sickness (during pregnancy) and exhaustion. Essential oils are also perfect for boosting your mood during those long days when parenting gets tough. And don’t forget: if you’re expecting or have a new baby there are plenty of ways to incorporate them into your routine too!
So, there I was: 5 months pregnant, lying on the floor, writhing in pain, and looking for any sort of relief. It was my first child, so I hadn’t learned to fully deal with the debilitatingly intense headaches and back pain. I was genuinely searching for some sort of alleviation outside the conventional synthetic options. If you’ve ever had a child, you know the kind of pain I’m talking about. It’s the, “I can’t get comfortable no matter what I do and I wish there was a way to stop this.” Yeah, you know EXACTLY the kind of pain I’m talking about!
Since the synthetic pain relievers weren’t viable options, I decided to try something else. Advil was a no-go, Tylenol was a no-go, and everything related was a no-go. I needed something… natural. Something healthy and safe to use (for both myself and, more importantly, my child). What I needed was doTERRA.
The Products You Should Use For Pregnancy:
What I ended up doing was using some premium blends offered exclusively from doTERRA; the first choice was Deep Blue. My back was in immense pain – like it was on fire – so that’s where I first applied it. To say the least, the reaction was phenomenal. Almost immediately I felt my muscles relax and the pain went away alongside. From merciless throbbing to minimal aching in mere seconds!
Second, I needed to deal with this unrelenting head and neck pain. My weapon of choice? The Peppermint blend, straight from doTERRA. Honestly, I had my slightly negative premonitions regarding whether or not it would ACTUALLY work. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that those feelings were immediately put to rest upon topical application. The rate at which it worked was so incredibly fast that I almost couldn’t believe it – I was dumbfounded by the sheer effectiveness of the oil.
Keep ‘Em Healthy:
So, now what? Your belly is child-free, but the planet is now +1. Our next step is to make sure these bundles of joy (and sometimes terror 😉 are kept in perfect condition health-wise throughout their most important developmental years. To make absolutely certain that happens, we need to make sure we are feeding them the proper supplements for optimal growth.
doTERRA a2z Chewable:
The doTERRA a2z is one of my absolute favorites for my little ones; not only is it phenomenal for their overall health, but they also love its taste. The chewies work by inserting essential nutrients such as vitamin A, C, and E into their bodies – in conjunction, these vitamins act as outstanding antioxidants.
PB Assist Jr.:
If you haven’t been feeding your children PB Assist Jr., THEY are missing out! It is absolutely essential that babies and toddlers build up a strong microbiome filled with a vast array of different essential bacterial organisms – problems with the digestive system creep up otherwise. PB Assist works by introducing your child’s stomach and microbiome to 5 billion live cells from 6 unique strains. Get ahead of the curve on your child’s health and purchase some PB Assist today!
Ending Notes:
Your children are developing, it’s more important now than ever to make sure you get their health RIGHT. Malnutrition and an overall lack of essential vitamins doesn’t only mean negative health implications in the now, but also far into their futures!
