PRENATAL MASSAGE

From the first day of pregnancy, care and body conditioning play an important role in the life of a woman and a baby. Mild massages should start to be applied from the first month in order to nourish, detoxify, and prepare the body for advanced pregnancy and pregnancy and the accompanying body changes. Due to the strong concentrates of the active substances of herbs in essential oils that even have antibiotic, anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory effects, the use of essential oils and aromatherapy is not recommended. Prenatal massage is exclusively performed with a combination of high quality oils, which give exceptional results in stimulating the physiology of collagen and elastin and thus prevent the process of skin cracking and the appearance of stretch marks. Pure natural almond, olive, jojoba and avocado oils are to be considered.

The expectant mother should perform the massage every day after having a shower: massage the abdomen with the oiled palms, in a circular motion clockwise, lingering on the sides of the abdomen, gently gliding them towards the navel. Because of the stimulation of the mammary glands and the preparation for breastfeeding, she should very gently massage breasts in a circular motion. A gentle circular massage and rubbing of these oils on the hips, gluteal area and thighs will also prevent possible skin damage. In advanced pregnancy, if the expectant mother should decide to put herself in the hands of the therapist, she should relax with a massage of the neck, shoulders, arms, and inter-blade part, and accept the suggestion that an unprofessional and rough massaging of the lumbar region, as well as the massage of swollen legs may have unpleasant side effects, and that they are dangerous. A gentle foot massage is a relaxing. Since everything that is applied to the skin penetrates into the body through the pores and passes through the body, all products containing synthetic chemical substances and perfumed segments should be avoided.
