Aromatherapy and Massage for Mother and Baby

Author: Allison England



$24.95

Fragrant, gentle essential oils are ideally suited to the special needs of women during pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. Aromatherapy and Massage for Mother and Baby provides the reader with expert advice on using essential oils in massage, baths, compresses, lotions, and inhalations. Special sections on massage for pregnant women and newborns give complete instructions for using massage to ease the discomforts of pregnancy and relieve the pain of labor and birth, as well as to soothe and comfort restless babies and facilitate the bonding of mother and child. The author also explains how to successfully treat common disorders such as morning sickness, water retention, cellulite, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and stretch marks. Safe, effective remedies for babies are also covered, including colic, diaper rash, and teething pain.

Allison England has been trained in massage, herbal medicine, and reflexology. She runs her own aromatherapy clinic for mothers and babies in Cambridgeshire, England, and is the mother of five children.
