WANT ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL BABY?
There are certain pure essential oils that may positively affect fertility in both men and women by aiding hormona l balance, reducing inflammation, decreasing stress and promoting reproductive health. Blend 2-3 drops each of Chamomile, Geranium, Jasmine and Rose oils with 10-20mL of Le Rêve carrier oil and rub on lower abdomen between hip bones three times a day. For men it may increase sperm count and quality. For women it helps create the right temperature, lubrication, and alkalinity for conception to be present in the body.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Pregnancy is a joyful phase in life when both ‘mum-to-be’ and ‘unborn baby’ need special care and pampering. The body undergoes many physical changes which often cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, sleeplessness and nervous tension. While there are many oils that offer welcome relief from such symptoms, we advise you to always check with a certified medical practitioner before beginning any treatments. During pregnancy (particularly the first trimester) do not use the following pure essential oils in topical applications: Basil, Eucalyptus/Cedarwood, Cinnamon Leaf, Cypress, Jasmine, Marjoram, Peppermint, or blends containing any of these oils.
Dosages by Age
Children respond well to low dosages of essential oils, particularly in topical applications. Follow this guide when applying essential oils directly on the skin of young children: Up to 2 years: Dilute to one-quarter of the recommended adult dosage. Up to 5 years: Dilute to one-third of the recommended adult dosage. Up to 12 years: Dilute to one-half of the recommended adult dosage. Over 12 years: Ready for full adult dosage.
