STEP 14 - LABOR

broken image

The end is near! Soon you will have that beautiful baby in your arms. Your body has worked hard to get you to this point, softening the ligaments in your pelvis; your baby should have begun to move down, and your cervix has also softened. However, your body will have to continue to work hard. Essential oils can help you support your physical and mental well being during labor.

Women may feel increasing discomfort in their lower backs as labor progresses. The following essential oils may provide some soothing relief:

• BLACK PEPPER

• BASIL

• ICE BLUE BLEND

HELICHRYSUM may be applied to lower back when labor starts, to help support the reduction of the flow of blood during and after delivery.

Sometimes labor just stalls and the contractions slow. In order to support your body to naturally continue until delivery occurs the following essential oils may help:

• CLARY SAGE (stronger when combined with MYRRH and applied on inside of ankles)

• CINNAMON

Diffusing essential oils during delivery can help promote a calm and focused environment. There are many great options to achieve this.

• BALANCE BLEND

• WILD ORANGE

• YLANG YLANG

• BERGAMOT

The warm, woody aroma of the BALANCE BLEND ESSENTIAL OIL creates a sense of calm and wellbeing.

We perfectly blend Spruce, Ho Wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, and Blue Chamomile with Fractionated Coconut Oil to offer an enticing fragrance that promotes tranquility and relaxation.
