Stretch marks–those dark red or purple streaks that can develop on your stomach, thighs, breasts, arms and buttocks and that make wearing a bathing suit of any kind such a trial–are a common complaint of pregnant women during their last trimester, according to the Mayo Clinic. Stretch marks are caused during pregnancy by the stretching of the skin as the baby grows and you gain weight. A wide variety of commercial creams, balms and lotions are available to prevent the development of these marks by keeping the skin hydrated and supple. Natural remedy websites, such as Homemade Medicine and All About Stretch Marks, however, contain many similar stretch mark creams that can be made inexpensively at home. Naturopathic medicine promotes a holistic approach to health with minimal use of surgeries and drugs. Please make sure to consult your physician before attempting naturopathic remedies at home.
