Hello all
I'd like to use as many natural remedies as I can during and after birth, and wondered if anyone can recommend anything that worked for them.
I'd like to use Lavender Essential Oil during the birth, and afterwards in the bath to help healing. I'd also like to use Rose Essential Oil, just because I find it really intoxicating and calming. Hopefully it will help me to relax and stay calm!
I'd also like to start taking arnica, but I've read different things about how to take it. Some say to start taking it throughout the day a couple of weeks before your due date, and continue for a couple of weeks after. Others say to take it as you start going into labour. Have any of you used it? And do you know if you can take it while breastfeeding?
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
