Weleda Perineum Massage Oil 50ml

Preparing for childbirth can be an exciting yet daunting time for expectant mothers. To help ease the process, a totally natural massage oil has been developed to enhance the skin's flexibility and protect against tears and cuts during the birthing experience. This all-natural oil, known as Perineum Massage Oil, is designed to be used from the 34th week of pregnancy, with regular massages that can be performed by the mother-to-be or a partner.

The key ingredient in this oil is sweet almond oil, which is rich in vitamin E and helps to improve the skin's elasticity. Wheat germ oil, another essential component, is also included for its nourishing properties. The oil is further enhanced with a blend of natural fragrances, including limonene, linalool, citronellol, geraniol, and citral, creating a pleasant and soothing aroma.

To use the Perineum Massage Oil, the expectant mother should first bathe in warm water and ensure that her bladder is empty. She can then settle into a comfortable position and moisten her thumb (or index finger if a partner is assisting) with the oil. Gently gliding the finger over the perineal tissues, the mother should massage rhythmically, moving the hand like the hand of a clock, from 3 to 9 o'clock on the vaginal wall.

As the massage continues, the tissues and muscles will feel more relaxed and softer, allowing the length of the massage to be increased. The mother should massage the perineum until a light tingling sensation is felt, then gently massage the tissue between the vagina and anus using the thumb and middle finger.

After the massage, any excess oil can be removed by washing the area with warm water. It is important to note that if the mother has any concerns about perineal massage, she should consult her midwife or doctor for guidance.

The Perineum Massage Oil is suitable for vegans and is formulated to be gentle and effective, helping to prepare the body for the natural process of childbirth. By using this oil regularly, expectant mothers can take an active role in supporting their body's flexibility and reducing the risk of tears or cuts during the birthing experience.
