Lavender Shea Butter for Pregnant Moms

Bringing a new life into the world is exciting and thrilling but can also be quite a stressful time to women. Nurturing the body with healthy, safe and effective personal care products like Lavender Shea Butter can reduce stress for mothers-to-be.

The Journal of Advanced Nursing talks about a study in which blind randomized clinical trial is described, involving three groups of mothers, one using pure lavender oil, one a synthetic lavender oil and one an inert substance as a bath additive for 10 days following normal childbirth. The study showed that between the 3rd and 5th days those women using pure lavender oil as a bath additive had lower mean discomfort scores.

Shea Butter, Pregnancy, and Childbirth

Shea Butter may indeed be a pregnant woman's best friend for the following reasons:

STRETCH MARKS

For thousands of years women have covered their growing-baby-bellies with shea butter to improve elasticity thereby preventing stretch marks.

DELIVERY

In Ghana, women going through labor and delivery often squat over basins with hot water and Shea Butter to ease labor pains. Some women also massage themselves with Shea Butter to prevent tearing and to prevent having a epiostomy.

NEW BORN BABIES

Mothers rub Shea Butter on thier newborn babies to protect them from the hot summer sun. They also rub Shea Butter on their babies after bathing to keep skin from drying.
