Soothe tired, swollen & aching feet
Feet take a great deal of punishment during pregnancy - especially during the third trimester! Due to the weight gained during this period, your center of gravity is altered and this increases pressure on the knees, ankles and feet. You may also suffer from water retention and find that your ankles and feet swell. Sore and swollen feet often accompany exhaustion and emotional vulnerability.
The natural way
Why do feet swell during pregnancy?
During pregnancy extra fluid is retained and can cause swelling of the tissues or "edema". Edema is usually most pronounced in the legs and feet as fluid tends to pools in these areas. Your growing baby and uterus put pressure on the vessels that drain blood and fluid from your legs, slowing circulation and leading to tissue edema in the legs and feet. Added weight (and re-distribution of that weight) also means that the feet have to adjust and adapt as each month passes.
I have heard that some essential oils should not be used during pregnancy. How safe are the essential oils in your Faithful Feet products?
You can rest assured that all of the essential oils used in our Faithful Feet Massage Oil and Faithful Feet FootSoak Concentrate are completely safe to use during pregnancy and will have only positive effects on the expecting-mum and unborn baby.
There is a lot that can be done to support your feet in the comfort of your own home.
- Although it seems like common sense, lifting your feet (propped up on pillows) whilst lying down can help to alleviate the pressure.
- Remember to wiggle your toes, stretch your feet (point and flex) and turn your foot round and round at the ankle to provide some relief.
- Soaking your feet can work wonders, while wearing supportive hosiery can help prevent veins and tissues taking strain. A good tip is to put on supportive wear while lying down, preventing blood from pooling at the ankles.
- Foot massage is a wonderful way to relax, encourage circulation and relieve pressure on the feet!

What are the Ingredients?
Faithful Feet Aromatic FootSpa Concentrate contains the following carefully selected essential aromatherapy oils in therapeutic dosage:
- Litsea cubeba essential oil is derived from the small, pepper-shaped fruits of the May Chang plant and is used mostly for its anti-inflammatory and calming properties. This oil promotes healing and regeneration of skin and has a fresh, clean scent. It also treats fatigue, lethargy and insomnia.
- Grapefruit (Citrus paradise) essential oil has a refreshing citrus scent and is wonderful for stimulating the lymphatic system, balancing fluid levels and removing toxins from the system. It is especially useful in treating water retention and swelling. Grapefruit oil also stimulates the central nervous system and addresses stress-related symptoms including headaches and exhaustion.
- Ginger essential oil has the ability to clear any type of excess moisture or fluid in the body and is excellent for reducing swelling. It also alleviates pain and soothes aching and cramps. Ginger improves circulation and reduces fatigue.
Pure goodness...
Faithful Feet Footspa Concentrate contains 100% pure essential oils and no artificial fragrances, preservatives or added chemicals. This means you get all the therapeutic properties of the aromatherapy oils.
