Fir oil during pregnancy to improve well-being. Beneficial uses of fir oil in the form of inhalations Fir oil for pregnant women

Essential little fir– a champion in penetrating abilities, which is why it is used more often than other essential oils in massage. For angina pectoris, for example, it is recommended to rub a few drops of oil under the chest, avoiding the area of ​​the heart itself, in slow circular movements. During an exacerbation, you can repeat this procedure 3-4 times a day, but no more than two days in a row.

Generally range applications for fir oil very large - from treating a sore throat to restoring skin tone. Let's start with sore throat. The disease is extremely unpleasant, and even threatening with complications. Essential fir in this case, it’s much better than Lugol’s, such a favorite remedy of our mothers and grandmothers. For purulent sore throat, gargle with fir decoction, but fir oil is more effective. Application is quite simple: oil, 2-3 drops, is applied to the tonsils up to 5 times a day. Full recovery occurs on the second day.

Also fir essential oil It is also effective for the flu: 3-5 times a day you need to massage the body with an oil solution, for one session you need no more than 5 grams of essential oil. For colds and acute respiratory viral infections, it is enough to do cold inhalations - apply 1-2 drops of oil on a handkerchief, take 3-4 deep breaths several times a day. Actually, if you don’t want to waste time lying in bed with another cold, then fir essential oil– the best means of prevention. To do this, just drop a couple of drops into the aroma lamp. Daily use will not only prevent bacteria and viruses from multiplying in your home, but will also clear the air of harmful impurities, relieve nervous tension, and cope with stress.

For joint pain, neuritis, neuralgia, sciatica, myositis and other diseases of the nervous system, rubbing and massage of pain points are recommended. To do this, add 1-2 drops of fir essential oil to 10 grams of vegetable oil.

Surprising but regular use of fir oil can help restore vision after eye strain. You can also use fir oil to treat conjunctivitis: apply 1 drop of oil very carefully to the upper eyelid, making sure to close your eyes. You need to lie down without opening your eyes for about 20 minutes, then very carefully remove the remaining fir oil with a cotton pad soaked in either vegetable oil or any other base oil.

For liver and intestinal diseases fir essential oil It is recommended to use both internally and for rubbing. But it should be remembered that fir oil should absolutely not be used during pregnancy, stomach ulcers and kidney inflammation. For oral administration, make the following composition: 2-3 drops of fir oil are diluted in 1 tablespoon of honey. Can be consumed 2 times a day. For external use, mix a couple of drops fir essential oil with a carrier oil and rub the painful areas until the oil is completely absorbed. The ratio is approximately 1-2 drops of essential oil per 5 grams of base oil.

For frostbite, as well as for burns, fir oil is used as applications in a 1:1 ratio. A gauze bandage soaked in this composition is applied to the affected surface. It can also be used for abscesses, boils, weeping ulcers, bedsores and herpes.

For gum diseases, applications with small fir are also made, and in combination with lemon essential oil, you can not only improve your oral health, but also whiten your teeth. To do this, you need to squeeze out toothpaste onto your toothbrush, add one drop each of fir and lemon essential oils, and clean your mouth well.

A special topic, according to the women's magazine JustLady - use of fir oil in cosmetology. It remarkably rejuvenates, smooths out wrinkles, tightens pores and perfectly fights skin problems. In addition, it can be used to treat acne in both teenagers and adults. Actually, you don’t need to spend too much time for this, just drop 1-2 drops into any cream, mix and apply to your face. For excessive foot sweating, daily baths with fir essential oil are recommended. By the way, you can simultaneously solve the problem of leg dermatosis.

For scalp seborrhea and hair loss, use the following composition: take 2-3 drops of essential oil per 10 grams of baby shampoo, and thoroughly rinse the hair with this composition. Oil masks are also recommended. For 10 grams of grape seed oil, take 5 drops of fir essential oil, apply the resulting mixture to the hair, cover it with a plastic cap and wrap it in a terry towel. Wash off after 20 minutes.

In addition to all of the above, fir essential oil It is also used to deodorize the air; it not only fills the room with the aroma of a coniferous forest, but also repels blood-sucking insects. Which is very good when there are children in the house, since all the newfangled mosquito “killers” such as “Raptera” and “Mosquitol” contain chemical components that do not have a very good effect on children’s health. A essential little fir is a safe, environmentally friendly and harmless insect repellent.

Fir is a tall tree from the “coniferous” family that grows only in environmentally friendly areas. The Slavs know about its beneficial properties from the cradle. And today we will talk about what fir oil brings with it during pregnancy: benefits or harm.

Please note that it is strictly contraindicated in the early stages! If at a later stage your doctor allows you to use fir oil, you should reduce the dose recommended in the instructions by exactly half, and also dilute with water. Being in a delicate position, women become more receptive and sensitive to external factors. Even if you have not had to deal with allergic reactions before, during this period the likelihood increases.

One of the most common diseases of expectant mothers is hemorrhoids. Almost 50% of pregnant women suffer from it in the second or third trimester. Treatment must be chosen very carefully, after consulting with your doctor. Fir oil for hemorrhoids is a well-known folk method. For internal hemorrhoidal cones, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a mixture of fir and sunflower or castor oils. This is a softer product than fir oil in its pure form.

Remember that you should never self-medicate. Especially when in your hands (or rather your tummy) not only your own life, but also the life of a precious child. All treatment methods must be agreed with a doctor so as not to harm the health or even the life of the baby.

It should be immediately noted that fir oil can be used while expecting a child. only after consulting your doctor. Please note that it is strictly contraindicated in the early stages! If at a later stage your doctor allows you to use fir oil, you should reduce the dose recommended in the instructions by exactly half, and also dilute with water. Being in a delicate position, women become more receptive and sensitive to external factors. Even if you have not had to deal with allergic reactions before, during this period the likelihood increases.

Features of using fir oil during pregnancy

Fir oil has a huge number of beneficial properties. The list of areas of its use is extremely extensive. But fir oil during pregnancy is acceptable only for external use. For example, it can be used as an antiseptic. For minor damage to the skin, it is used in its pure form to prevent inflammation and suppuration of the wound.

Everyone knows that pregnant women cannot have their teeth treated under anesthesia. Fir oil will help relieve pain. It is enough to moisten a cotton swab and apply it to the tooth or gum for 10-20 minutes. The procedure can be repeated no earlier than 2 hours later.

During pregnancy, the skin experiences enormous stress and stretch marks appear. Fir will give the skin firmness and elasticity. It is enough to add 3 drops to a warm bath, unless directed by your doctor!

When using fir oil as an air freshener, in addition to a pleasant smell, you also get an antibacterial effect. Plus, its aroma has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, relieves stress, and helps with insomnia. However, it is better for pregnant women not to stay indoors at this time due to the embryotoxicity of fir oil.

For internal hemorrhoidal cones, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a mixture of fir and sunflower or castor oils. This is a softer product than fir oil in its pure form.

External cones can simply be lubricated with fir oil. Or mix it 1:1 with fish oil.

Remember that you should never self-medicate. Especially when you have not only your own life in your hands, but also the life of a precious child. All treatment methods must be agreed with a doctor so as not to harm the health or even the life of the baby.

Unfortunately, hemorrhoids are a fairly common disease nowadays. Inflammation of hemorrhoids is provoked by a sedentary lifestyle, excessive physical activity, poor diet, and in women this disease is often considered a consequence of pregnancy. An excellent addition to basic therapy can be the use of traditional medicine based on fir oil. We hasten to present several recipes for the latter to your attention right now.
