Skincare for better Mental Health

How can aromatherapy help? We cant all stay out of the sun. Just the morning drive gives our facial skin a good dose of aging radiation. Sleep. The relaxing aromatherapy oils come into their own in getting a good nights sleep. Combining Lavender with Vetiver 'the oil of tranquility' works wonders.

Aromatherapy and Pregnancy

Generally essential oils are used with caution in pregancy just like any chemicals. However for stretch marks they have been found to be useful. The use of the oils diffused for anxiety carries benefits without risks as the impact on the brain can be achieved with just a few molecules.  Essential oils have traditionally been used for birthing mothers. Jasmine oil in particular has been found to be beneficial.

Here is useful background on the discoveries being made about the impact on the brain of pregnacy. 
Zoe Williams explores the radical changes that take place in a woman's brain over the course of pregnancy. It's an area of women's health we know surprisingly little about - but psychologists studying the effects of reproduction on the brain are now beginning to make startling discoveries.
During pregnancy, a woman's hormone levels rise to more than 100 times those seen during any other naturally occurring life event. The latest research suggests that these powerful chemicals re-programme the mum-to-be in a process labelled "maternal programming".
The proponents of the maternal programming theory argue that mothers are "made, not born" and the chemical and structural changes that occur within the pregnant brain optimise a woman's maternal behaviour in order for her to provide the most sensitive and protective care when her child is born. Zoe examines the implications of this theory for fathers and adoptive parents who have not undergone this biological priming.
Zoe will also explore the effects of depression and stress during pregnancy, discovering that, while post-natal depression regularly grabs the headlines, ante-natal depression is just as common. Studies suggest that children born to mothers who suffered from clinically significant levels of anxiety and depression during pregnancy are more likely to suffer from a range of psychological and physical problems and are three times more likely to develop depression in later life. But this research has its critics, who argue that women are getting blamed for the health outcomes of their children and that telling women not to get stressed during pregnancy only heightens their levels of anxiety.
