them). I am amazed at the power of the oils during birth. Here is a
list of oils I use:
I find that using essential oils during this process help to ease some
of the discomforts of labor, give Mom's the strength she needs to
pursue the birth she desires, create a calm and serene atmosphere, and
help to change the birthing rooms to more of a welcoming place, to
name a few.
During early labor using lavender to calm the early jitters, both for
Mom and her partner by diffusing in the room or using with a carrier
oil for light massage.
As labor progresses, Jasmine is a wonderful oil to use. It helps to
increase the intensity of the contractions but also acts as an
analgesic, helping to take away some of the sensations of the
contractions. This can be used neet on the lower abdomen or used with
a carrier oil for massage.
If labor has slowed and needs a bit of a boost, Myrrh can pick things
up. I don't normally put this on her body. I will diffuse into the
room or put it on a cotton ball near her. So often the intensity of
the contractions will pick up right away and I find that the aroma of
the oil can then become an irritant to her.
Black Pepper is a great oil for back labor. If my client is
experiencing back discomforts we will use Black Pepper mixed with a
carrier oil to ease some of the pain. Clove or nutmeg can also be used
for this same issue. Use care when using these oils neet as there can
be skin sensitivity to them.
Rose Oil is Euphoric, it works as a uterine relaxant and it helps
ligaments to soften enabling the pelvic bones to expand more easily.
Clary Sage facilitates birth as a euphoric and an analgesic, as a
tonic to the respiratory muscles, the uterine system and calms the
lower spinal cord. Put 3-4 drops on the inner ankles to help speed
labor up.
Peppermint when inhaled can help reduce anxiety and hypertension. It
can be cooling on the lower back. It can help to ease nausea
Elevation is great for creating a joyful experience. Uplifting and
calming
Serenity is a calming blend designed to reduce stress by calming the
nervous system, creating a sense of well-being and improved health
through the natural reduction of stress and its related symptoms.
Lavender, sweet marjoram, roman chamomile, ylang ylang, sandalwood and
vanilla bean create a subtle aroma ideal for aromatic diffusion or
topical application.
Whisper-This perfectly balanced scent includes, patchouli, bergamot,
sandalwood, rose, Jasmine, cinnamon, cistus, vetiver, ylang ylang,
cocoa and vanilla. Subtly with distinctive notes is a modest
descriptor for this unique and compelling natural fragrance. Whisper
(TM) can be used topically and diffused into the air
Balance on the feet to help relax and increase a sense of courage to
continue with the birthing process.
Neroli works on the nervous system, allowing it to relax. It calms
fear and anxiety, both of which will promote easy breathing,
especially if mom is panting or about to hyperventilate.
The use of essential oils during the birthing process can be used as
another tool for the birth assistants and partners to help ease some
of the discomforts of labor and create a loving environment.
