All Natural Perineal Massage Oil

Have you ever heard of Perineal Massages?  Well during birth your most sensitive parts are forced to stretch in more ways than one.  A lot of this stretching relies on the perineum and pelvic floor relaxing when then the time comes. For most women, this area of the body isn't used to consciously relaxing. And according to The Natural Beauty Workshop says that the practice of Perineal Massages comes in. What does this mean?  It means stretching and conditioning the skin of the perineum and the muscles of the pelvic floor which can be possible to help prepare your body for the stretching that will occur during childbirth.

In a recent post, The Natural Beauty Workshop has a simple recipe for All Natural Perineal Massage Oil and a couple of links that you can learn more about how it works and how to practice this technique. So if you are pregnant or know someone who is then you may want to pass along this information.

Naturally Native Massage Oil

by Harvest McCampbell

Ingredients:

2/3 cup each of corn, sunflower and peanut oil
1/8 cup each of cleavers, willow bark or leaves, juniper berries and rose hips (all dry)
essential oils of sassafras, spruce, cedar and wintergreen

Supplies:

strainer
large funnel
2 20-ounce jars with air-tight lids
spoon
measuring cup
brown paper bag

Step 1 - Make the Oil

Measure herbs and base oils into one air-tight jar. Close the lid and place in a brown paper bag in a warm place. Shake two or three times a day, whenever you remember. If you shake it more often, you will get a better product in a shorter time, about three weeks. If you shake it less often, then you will want to give it a longer extraction time, as long as eight weeks.

Strain out the herbs and pour the mixture into the second jar. Add one drop of wintergreen oil and two drops each of sassafras, spruce and cedar (both sassafras and spruce stimulate the lymphatic system and are good for tissue congestion). Shake well to blend. Label the jar “Naturally Native Massage Oil.”

Your massage oil is now ready to use as is, or as one of the ingredients in the Naturally Native Massage Lotion.
