Excellent for pregnancy!

April 4, 2017

Attributes: pregnancy

I am prone to stretch marks. I have them on my hips and breasts. I was told by a rather insensitive dermatologist that if I ever got pregnant, my stomach would likely come out looking like a roadmap. My first child was born 8 years ago, and during that pregnancy, I used this oil. I kept myself slathered in it and didn't have a lot of the belly itching my friends always described. I also didn't get any stretch marks. I thought it might be a fluke since I had her at 33 weeks, and I didn't get incredibly big.

I carried my second child to 39 weeks and 6 days. He was an 8.5 pound boy. Same thing--used this oil nightly after my shower and didn't get any stretch marks.

I used the same routine recently with pregnancy #3 (and I'm 41). I gave birth to a 7 pound 2 ounce baby--no stretch marks.

I'm a total believer in this stuff. Some folks find the smell a bit strong, but I've grown to love it over the years. I'm using the oil now, postpartum on my stomach and thighs because I like the way it makes my skin feel. This stuff is absolutely amazing!

Hazelnut The hazelnut is a small tree that grows in woods and hedgerows, very common in European forests. Its fruit, the hazelnut, is a smooth, egg-shaped nut, held at the base in a green sheath with deeply cut-out edges. An edible oil is extracted from the hazelnut. Employed in cooking, it is also much used in soaps, masks and massage oils for its capacity to prevent dehydration.

Geranium Geranium is a hardy plant which has long been used in perfume-making for its essential oil. Geranium leaves have many stomas, which resemble channels where gas exchanges with the atmosphere take place. Itwas in the cells bordering these stomas that a substance equivalent to ANP (Atrial Natriuretic Peptide) was discovered, which is able to stimulate GMPc, a new and previously unknown trigger of lipolysis.
Rosemary Rosemary is a small, fragrant shrub from the Mediterranean region which grows wild or cultivated on chalky soil. The long, narrow, sweet-smelling leaves, rich in essential oils, are much used today to flavour food.There is a legend that in the 16th century, Isabelle of Hungary prepared with her own hands a rosemary cordial which is supposed to have restored her to health and youth at the age of 70.
