Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
Many people have asked me which oils I choose to have on hand at a birth, here is my list.
* Rose is my favorite. It is just a heavenly oil that changes the feeling in the room the minute it is opened!
* Clary Sage, I have been to births in the last year and Clary Sage is
THE definitive "best for labor" oil you will ever find, hands down.
* I also diffuse Bergamot and any other citrus oil that smells good to me at the time.
* I LOVE the emotional oils for labor! The Grounding, Gathering, Joy, Present Time, Believe, Harmony, Sacred Mountain, White Angelica and of course, Valor oil blends are the oils I will have on hand this time, as they have "called" to me a lot lately!
* Peppermint oil rubbed low on the back is SUPERIOR for back labor! Back labor usually means baby is turned posterior, and we have found that baby will turn AWAY from the Peppermint oil, thus alleviating the pain of back labor!
And, OF COURSE, Lavender oil! We do leg massages with it, and everyone is in heaven, not the least of which is mom! Hope this helps!
