The female body undergoes dramatic changes during the third trimester. The fluctuating hormone levels and all the extra weight on the limbs can lead to edema and fatigue.

Edema: Geranium oil is an effective essential oil that minimizes bloating and water retention.

• Usage: Mix 2 drops of Geranium Essential Oil in 1 teaspoon of the RADIARE Mommy Body Oil and massage gently with long strokes over the calves and feet without applying too much pressure on the ankles or heels.

Fatigue can occur at any stage of pregnancy, especially if you already have children or are working.

The VIGOR Alerta Body Mist is a unique blend of uplifting essential oils that can be safely used after the third trimester. Use this rejuvenating Body Mist after shower or in the afternoon when a quick pick me up is needed.

• Spearmint: Has restorative properties that strengthen the memory and stimulates the mind.
• Peppermint: Stimulates the nerves and brain, improves concentration and helps in focusing.
• Cardamom: Fortifying tonic for the brain and nervous system
• Eucalyptus: Helps to revive the spirits and infuses positivity. The oils are infused in a base of rosemary floral water.
