the bath
Women have used water to ease labor pain since the beginning of time. The
use of the bath for the latter part of the first stage of labor is a safe and
effective way to facilitate labor, and it
provides a risk-free alternative to
painkilling medications or epidurals.
Awaken to the art of the bath, a form of relaxation lost in time. I'm
talking about the ancient form of bathing in select organically grown
essential oils and herbs and breathing in the gently scented steam
that leaves you absolutely relaxed. Adding therapeutic scent magnifies
the intensity and effectiveness of the breathing and relaxation response and
increases your body's production of endorphins to provide natural pain relief.
This product utilizes pure and unprocessed extracted mineral salts from the Southern
Dead Sea in Israel, and unprocessed solar ocean and desert salts, dried by the
natural action of the sun and wind. Only organic, therapeutic grade
essential oils are used in this product. This blend is hand made in small
batches using organic essential oils of lavender, chamomile, bergamot, rose otto,
geranium, ylang ylang, jasmine, and neroli. Dried herbs of lavender,
rose, and chamomile are organically grown complete the blend.
Directions: Using 1 to 2 tablespoons, depending on the size of
the bath, partially fill the bath with hot water and then adjust the
temperature by adding warm water. Blend should be placed in the water
and swished around before entering. Enter the bath, close your eyes and
let your breathing slowly become more relaxed. Feel the warmth and peace
that surrounds you. Breath in the aroma slowly and deeply. Soak for 20
to 30 minutes as the bath salts soften the water, leaving a smooth, silky
feeling on the skin and help to draw toxins out of the body. Rinse or
shower off if desired. Rest, lying down for 30 minutes. Keeping the room
where you bathe and rest lit only by candlelight and infusing the environment
with the music you cherish most will bring forth a feeling of calm and
relaxation you have never experienced before.
Every day in my practice I see more people enjoying the tremendous
benefits available through the world of therapeutic essential oils. I adhere
to a strict professional code of ethical conduct in the purchasing of the finest
therapeutic ingredients, and I stand behind my products with the confidence of
years of results for people around the world.
The therapeutic essential oil blends discussed here are safe for most
people to use. If you experience any irritation, sensitivity, or reaction,
discontinue use. Follow directions for the blend carefully. Never add more
than the recommended amount. Use glass containers for all blends or store tightly
closed in the package provided. Because of the high oil content the blend may
tend to clump, do not shake essential oils, just gently roll the package between
your hands for a few minutes.
I welcome you to my long-standing family of satisfied clients and practitioners.
I appreciate your patronage.
