Recipes to get you through all "four" trimesters

 

Prenatal
The Ultimate Belly Balm
We’ve shared this one before, but it’s just too good not to share again
View the full article here!
This recipe was designed to make roughly enough balm for an entire pregnancy, so you can scale it down if you'd like to start with a smaller quantity or up for an even larger batch

  1. Over a double boiler, melt Shea Butter, 500 grams, Cocoa Butter, 60 grams and Calendula Co2 5 ml
  2. Once these ingredients have fully melted, remove your pot from the heat and begin adding your other ingredients, starting with the carrier oils
  1. Mix everything thoroughly and transfer into jars before it begins to thicken too much. Place the sealed jars in the fridge to set overnight.

 

Labor & Delivery
The Contraction Roller
This roll-on is made with botanicals that encourage uterine contractions and self confidence. 
Use daily once you’re full term* and throughout labor & delivery.

  1. Into a 5 ml roll-on bottle, add 5 drops of each Jojoba Jasmine & Clary Sage
  2. Fill the bottle with Jojoba Oil
  3. Secure the lid & shake well
  4. Apply to a pulse point for inhalation, being mindful during labor and delivery that you do not apply it anywhere that the baby could come into contact with


*Do not use these oils until you are full term

*Organic Grain Alcohol helps the essential oil to emulsify into the other bases, it also bumps up the disinfecting power of your sitz formula
