Edema: There is usually some swelling of the feet and ankles during the final trimester. Treat it by creating a relaxing footbath. Fill a basin with warm water and add 1/2 cup of Epsom salts and a few drops of herbal essential oils, relaxing lavender, aromatic rose, healing rosemary, or stimulating wintergreen.

Stress: During the nine months of gestation, it’s important for expectant women to avoid stress. Chamomile tea has been used for centuries to promote gentle relaxation, quell nausea, ease indigestion, and relieve insomnia. Also try lavender, rhodiola, ashwagandha, holy basil, and ginseng.

Stretch Marks and Melasma: Treat stretch marks with applications of aloe vera gel mixed with vitamin E oil, almond or coconut oil, or cocoa butter. Melasma patches can be lightened by combining ginseng with the Chinese herb gotu kola. Look for lotions or creams with active herbal ingredients that are known to inhibit melanin production—burdock root, mulberry, bearberry extract, Chinese sophora root, mushroom-based kojic acid; and Indian gooseberry. Gigawhite is a lightening agent that is a mix of herbs and plants that stop skin from producing melanin.
