Zita West Preconditioning Down Under Oil

A daily massage of the perineum with this gentle oil during the last six weeks of pregnancy will help to keep it supple and elastic, reducing the potential for perennial tears. The oil is Zita's own unique blend of pure plant extracts, enriched with avocado and borage.

We strongly recommend daily perennial massage during the last 6-8 weeks of pregnancy.
