Crystals for Pregnancy, Labor and Childbirth

by Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac.

This most mysterious and joyful time in a women's life is a long and curious

journey. From overcoming issues of PCOS, endometriosis, cysts and fibroids to

issues of timing concerning work, relationship and partner issues, getting

pregnant is not always an easy task.

Agate is a fertility stone used for centuries. It is believed to prevent

miscarriages and alleviate discomfort during pregnancy.

Bloodstone is a wonderful stone for increasing blood circulation during

pregnancy.

Carnelian is the stone of fertility. Carnelian is one of the most helpful

crystals for healing trauma, stress and emotional wounds that have accumulated

in the etheric body or the Aura and are now manifesting as physical symptoms.

Carnelian is believed to warm, cleanses and purify the blood of the liver and

kidneys, stimulate appetite, emotions, passion, sexuality, physical energy,

reproductive system, menstrual cramps, arthritis, gall bladder, pancreas.

Historically also used to pull excess fever out through the feet. Carnelian is

said to strongly influence the reproductive organs hence its connection to the

2nd Chakra.

Morning Sickness

This is the nausea and vomiting that affects a large percent of all expectant

mothers during the first few months of pregnancy. It's thought to be due

to

hormonal changes produced by the placenta and fetus, which cause the stomach to

empty more slowly. The term " morning sickness " can be deceptive because for some

women, it can come at any time of day. It usually starts 4 to 6 weeks after

conception and usually resolves by the 16th week. Some women may have symptoms

beyond the first trimester, and a few may have symptoms throughout their

entire

pregnancy. To determine whether you are maintaining proper nourishment and fluid

intake during your pregnancy, your health care provider will monitor changes in

your weight and how well you're eating and drinking. Normal weight gain during

the first trimester is only about 2 pounds. During the second trimester,

weight

gain should average about 1 pound each week. Overall gain for the third

trimester is about 11 pounds for a total of 25 to 35 pounds throughout

pregnancy. The quality of your diet is important. It might be helpful for you to

keep a record of what you eat and drink.

A Gem Essence of Rhodonite and Spinel can be made for morning sickness. Take

8-10 drops under the tongue at the onset of nausea.

GingerGinger is the best anti-nausea herb and can be added into your gem

essence. Cut up a handful of ginger root and boil for 30 minutes. Allow cooling.

Add to gem essence.

Acupressure: Two finger width above the inside of the wrist is an acupuncture

point called Pericardium 6. Gently massage this point in a clockwise circular

motion for 10 minutes.
