Pregnancy is a magical journey, but it often brings with it a variety of discomforts, from swelling and sleeplessness to itchy skin and hemorrhoids. At Careha + Co., we’ve crafted natural, safe solutions to help ease these common pregnancy challenges. Here are some of our favorite remedies using our all-natural products.
1. Soothe Itchy, Stretching Skin with Mama & Baby Salve
As your belly (and body) expands, your skin stretches, leading to dryness and itchiness. Our Mama & Baby Salve is designed to provide relief while deeply moisturizing and nourishing your skin.
How to Use:
Massage a small amount onto your belly, thighs, or any areas experiencing dryness or discomfort. This organic, all-natural salve is made with candelilla wax, chamomile and calendula-infused olive oil, vitamin E oil, and lavender essential oil, which work together to calm inflammation and keep your skin soft and healthy.
2. Relaxing Bath Salts for Swelling and Sore Muscles
Swelling and muscle aches are common in the later stages of pregnancy. A warm bath with our Relaxing Bath Salts is a luxurious way to relieve tension and reduce swelling.
How to Use:
Add a few scoops of our Relaxing Bath Salts to a warm (not hot) bath and soak for 15-20 minutes. The magnesium in the Epsom salts helps draw out excess fluids and relieve swollen ankles, while the essential oils help you unwind and relax.
3. Lavender Essential Oil for Restful Sleep
Many pregnant women find themselves tossing and turning at night. Lavender Essential Oil is a gentle, natural way to ease into sleep, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
How to Use:
Diffuse a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil before bed, or blend it with a carrier oil for a calming massage. You can also add a drop to your pillow for extra relaxation. Discontinue use if you have a reaction.
4. Sit Happy Hemorrhoid Balm for Discomfort Relief
Hemorrhoids are an uncomfortable reality for many pregnant women, especially in the third trimester. Our Sit Happy Hemorrhoid Balm is made with soothing, all-natural ingredients to offer fast relief from discomfort, itching, and irritation.
How to Use:
Apply a small amount of Sit Happy Hemorrhoid Balm directly to the affected area as needed. The organic blend of botanicals and oils helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing, so you can sit comfortably again. This balm can also be applied to the skin over varicosities of the leg and vulva to help with the discomfort.
5. Labor & Birth Gemstone Bracelet for Encouragement and Strength
Labor can be an emotional and physical challenge, and it’s important to feel empowered as you approach this big moment. Our Labor & Birth Gemstone Bracelet is designed to provide a sense of strength, calm, and positive energy.
How to Use:
Wear the Labor & Birth Gemstone Bracelet throughout your pregnancy and into labor. Each gemstone—such as rose quartz for love and amethyst for calm—has been carefully selected to support you emotionally during this important time.
