Oils For Postpartum Care

Hey Mamas! I have compiled a special list of the oils that I used after I gave birth. It is so important to take care of your postpartum body and mind. So if you are getting close to that due date, get your oily bag ready to go! 

1. Perineum Post-Labor Care – LavaDerm Cooling Mist

This is a spray blend of  aloe vera leaf, Lavender oil, Ionic trace minerals, Northern Lights Black Spruce oil, and Helichrysum oil. It is designed to moisturize and soothe skin. Along with ClaraDerm, I sprayed this one on the perineum as well to help soothe.

2. Hormones and Post-Labor Contractions – Capsule Blend

I brought my bottle of Young Living veggie capsules to the hospital. After Judah was born, I took a capsule of 5 drops of SclarEssence Vitality three times a day, for the first few days. This helped support my female hormones and aid in my post-birth contractions. Those contractions are what makes the uterus shrink back down.

3. Emotions – Oil Blends 

After giving birth, the female body undergoes a lot of hormone surges. This can lead to an emotional couple of days, and sometimes weeks. While in the hospital, I  cried over everything it seemed. So, to help support those emotions, I used Valor, Peace & Calming, and Sara. (Sara not pictured)

4. Baby Bonding – Frankincense and Gentle Baby

When Judah was placed on my chest, I asked my husband to anoint his head with Frankincense oil. Frankincense is used to help calm and relieve stress. I also put Gentle Baby oil blend on myself, Caleb, and Judah to encourage bonding. 

5. Lactation – Fennel, Basil, and Ningxia 

I have an entire blog devoted to this topic (click here). As soon as Judah made his arrival I used my roller blend of fennel and basil (with a carrier oil) and started rolling it across my chest. Also, I blended fennel and basil into a capsule (3 drops each) and took this concoction every time I finished nursing. I also took one shot of Ningxia Red every day (I still do this daily). This blend has helped me stay on top of my milk supply. 

I can’t say enough about these Young Living oils and products! They are amazing! Being a mommy has made me realize how important it is to have chemical-free, plant based tools.
