The essences can also be applied on acupuncture points or reflex zones. They can be used in baths or in diffusers.
CAUTION: The following oils should be avoided during pregnancy due to their abortive properties: mugwort, sweet calamus, muscat, parsley, black pepper, tansy, saffron, mustard, thuja, juniper and wormwood.

APPLE (malus domestica) - The Apple essence heightens motivation, mental agility and can give us a feeling of "lightness" when we feel heavy and clumsy. We re-gain our inner harmony and balance. Apple can help us to re-discover our physicality and enhance the joy of having sex. It facilitates physical and hormonal changes at the beginning of pregnancy and regulates water retention. After giving birth, this essence helps to feel fit and energised again very quickly.

Bunion Treatment Testimonials

Had two testimonials from clients I have treated for bunions -

"I see myself as a glamorous grandma so talking about my bunions is not my usual conversation starter, but Monika’s treatment has made it possible for me to walk, even in my “pretty” shoes, and keep smiling. I was sceptical that anything short of surgical intervention could help and I wasn’t willing to go there, but Monika’s treatment has brought great comfort and a reduction in the appearance of my bunions.

"Just after 2 visits to Monika and having Acupuncture on very painful Bunions. I was completely pain free. I can really recommend the treatment provided by Monika as it certainly worked for me. L.B"
