Rosemary

If you can’t really take a break, but are emotionally simply tired and drained, Rosemary oil can bring you mental alertness. Especially useful after a pregnancy. It may help you really feel connected to the universe and awakened. Rosemary oil may make you feel like you are living your own deepest truth and being completely true to yourself and your path in life. When you feel like you are completely scattered it bundles energies and brings focus. It’s a bit like blinkers. No unnecessary distractions. Focus. 

The ancient Greeks and Romans also used it as a sign of loyalty. Loyalty to oneself. First to self, then to others. When we are more loyal to others than to ourselves, our energy, our soul dissipates and we feel as if we are stuck in a foggy tangle. The circulation and concentration suffer as a result. It is also said that rosemary will protect against witchcraft and enchantment. Rosemary used to be a symbol of love, loyalty, honesty and transparency and was therefore historically often used as jewelry for men and women at weddings. It was also traditionally woven into bridal headdresses because it was believed to grant fertility to young brides. 

Not only supporting levels of the go getter hormone “testosterone” in women and men, Rosemary oil is also linked to fertility. Apply to inner lower arms, forehead, as perfume, or diffuse. 

Caution: only use before and after pregnancy. Don’t use it when pregnant.

Clary Sage

Clary sage is the most recommended essential oil to support the body balancing levels of estrogen – a necessary hormone for conception. Excess estrogen can affect womens’ hormone balance, making it more difficult to get pregnant. Clary sage supports the body with its estrogen balance. It also supports the body to strengthen the lining of the uterus. When I visited a farm of Young Living in Idaho, they told a story of the first time they planted it there. All the deer came and ate all the plants. That season, the woodsmen reported an unusual increase of deer 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

Young Living had to look for another farm to cultivate it. Now our Clary Sage oil is planted in Europe. Safe. If you’d like to support your body maintaining the optimum balance between the hormones that are needed for pregnancy, you can use this oil by:

  • Adding a few drops in your hand and breathing in deeply for a few seconds.
  • You can also put the oil in a diffuser for an aromatic foreplay. Well, you actually just smell it, but the effect is what’s exciting! 
  • You can combine the oil with a carrier oil, apply topically and massage your desired area.
  • Adding 4-6 drops to your bath.

Caution: only use before and after pregnancy. Don’t use it when pregnant.

Acceptance

“Accept – then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it… this will miraculously transform your whole life.” Eckhard Tolle “What? But I don’t want to accept.. it’s just that … I can’t..” 

When mamas-to-be are facing new challenges or changes, this can be really tough and therefore not easy to be at peace with one’s new life. But acceptance oil is here to help. Place 1-2 drops of Acceptance blend into your hands, rub them together, and cup hands over nose, inhale deeply, and repeat a few times. You can also diffuse it to enjoy the tranquil scent that promotes peace and fortitude. I like putting it on my solar plexus. My “me-chakra”. Because after all, if we can accept ourselves it’s a lot easier to accept everything else too. 

Remember: What you resist, persists. What you accept, transforms.

Pregnancy

What is folic acid?

So, why is folic acid so important? Studies have shown that taking folic acid supplements 1 month prior to and throughout the first 3 months of pregnancy decrease the risk of neural tube defects.

The neural tube — formed during the first several weeks of the pregnancy, possibly before a woman even knows she’s pregnant — goes on to become the baby’s developing brain and spinal cord. When the neural tube does not form properly, the result is a neural tube defect such as spina bifida (split spine). Your health care provider can prescribe a prenatal vitamin that contains the right amount of folic acid. Some pregnancy health care providers even recommend taking an extra folic acid supplement, especially if a woman has previously had a child with a neural tube defect. 

You can naturally find folic acid in leafy greens, legumes, nuts and seeds, broccoli and beets 🌿
