What is Faithful Feet Massage Oil?
Faithful Feet Massage Oil is specially formulated according to aromatherapeutic principles to relieve tired and swollen feet. It also provides a relaxing and uplifting experience, leaving you refreshed and renewed.
Faithful Feet Massage Oil comprises a blend of essential aromatherapy oils specially intended for foot massage, while Faithful Feet FootSpa Concentrate is used as a relaxing footbath. They can be used separately or together for an even more amazing experience!
Faithful Feet Massage Oil does not have any side effects, as it is 100% natural and the aromatic oils are especially chosen for safety during pregnancy. It is formulated to the highest therapeutic standards and manufactured in consultation with our clinical psychologist and a qualified aromatherapist, using ingredients specially chosen for their safety and effectiveness.
An uplifting experience for your feet
Feet take a great deal of punishment during pregnancy - especially during the third trimester. Due to the weight gained during this period, your center of gravity is altered, thus increasing the pressure on the knees, ankles, and feet.
You may also suffer from water retention, and find that your ankles and feet swell. During pregnancy, extra fluid is retained, which leads to this swelling of the tissues, or "edema". Edema is usually most pronounced in the legs and feet, as fluid tends to pool in these areas.
Your growing baby and uterus puts pressure on the vessels that drain blood and fluid from your legs, slowing circulation and leading to tissue edema in the legs and feet. Reflexologists believe holistic health begins with attention to the feet, and claim that proper massage can alleviate a myriad of problems by massaging pressure points in the foot.
Whether or not you wish to explore the potential benefits of reflexology or simply need a pampering and relaxing experience, simple massage alone can work wonders for feet suffering from the common perils of pregnancy.
The natural way
Sore and swollen feet often accompany exhaustion and emotional vulnerability. Sleep on your left side to prevent the uterus putting pressure on the heart and major blood vessels. When at all possible, keep legs and feet elevated.
While seated, move your feet around by wiggling your toes, pointing and flexing the feet and rotating the ankles. This will keep the circulation moving. Avoid salt, drink plenty of water, and keep up with gentle exercise as recommended by your health practitioner.
In addition, natural and homeopathic remedies can offer additional support and comfort during this time, as many offer therapeutic properties.
Faithful Feet Massage Oil can be used for reflexology and basic massage purposes, whereas the complementary Faithful Feet Aromatic FootSpa Concentrate™ may be used in conjunction as a soothing and aromatic foot soak prior to massage. |
