Childbirth and essential oils

[Tolstoy]

Hi guys,

I would like to make a blend for labour, jasmine and perhaps lavendar?? Ive heard clary sage is great too but that it can make you and baby feel out of it, esp if youre on gas and air which most women would be?

So im thinking jasmine and lavendar...what do you think?

also would it be a 1% solution blend?

Any other tips welcome,

Thank you

I would just use 2 drops of Jasmine and 2 drops of Clary Sage for early labour, for massage on the abdomen and lower back in about 20 ml of Grapeseed oil. Clary Sage is very good for labour pains and child birth and is uplifting. I would think that gas and air would make you feel out of it anyway as whatever you're taking in is going to go to the baby so would not worry to much about the effects of clary sage. Just don't use clary sage if you are not in labour.

I went on an essential oils for pregnancy and childbirth course a while back and was taught that you can use up to 3% dilution during labour. Jasmine, clary sage, lavender, marjoram, and chamomile are all great for pain relief during labour To help aid contractions use jasmine, clary sage, frankincense, rosemary and juniper but care should be taken with breech presentation.
