Stress reduction: both classic massage and pregnancy massage have a calming effect on the central nervous system.
Benefits of regular pregnancy massages
A study by the Touch Research Institute shows that regular massages can reduce anxiety, lower stress hormones such as cortisol, and reduce the incidence of complications. Massages have a pain-relieving effect, increase the release of histamine, and thus dilate blood vessels, making them more able to remove toxins.
A pregnancy massage also leads to better body awareness and relaxed intercostal muscles, which has a more positive effect on breathing.
The use of aromatic oils can not only stimulate, but also relax and induce a deep sense of well-being. Certain aromatic oils are particularly helpful during pregnancy, helping you find relaxation and renewed strength, as your sense of smell is particularly sensitive during these nine months.
Tension in the chest: Lavender, Neroli
Back pain: Lavender, frankincense oil, Roman chamomile
Many women later complain of problems with milk flow and pain while breastfeeding. Very often, the cause is blocked mammary ducts . Regular breast massage is therefore highly recommended , and should be started several weeks before the birth.
Mix 50 ml of carrier oil (aged sesame oil) with four drops of lavender and massage the breast with both hands, always moving in the direction of the nipple. Especially in the nipple area, sensitive areas are often found, which you should definitely relieve with small circular movements. Then, always massage in the direction of the nipple, applying noticeable pressure. With each stroke, you loosen small hardened areas and move blockages toward the nipple. This not only cleanses the milk ducts but also stimulates the breast to produce healthy breast milk.
I like to offer the Sweet Dreams aroma spray for inhalation at the beginning of a pregnancy massage. I pump two pumps into my hands, rub them together briefly, and have the client take three or four deep breaths. The question immediately arises: What is this wonderful thing? My clients are immediately deeply relaxed, as if at the touch of a button , and can enjoy the massage to the fullest. With the Sweet Dreams body oil , a breast massage can be wonderfully performed at home.
Want to enjoy your pregnancy? Then treat yourself to a massage . It provides relaxation for both mother and child, helps with birth preparation, and helps with postnatal recovery.
