The benefits of aromatherapy during labor are immense. Essential oils can make the experience as pleasant and easy as possible for both the mother and the baby by creating a relaxing, comfortable and stress-free environment for labor. Essential oils diffused in the delivery room will help cleanse the air and provide a familiar and welcoming scent for the baby.
Recommended Oils to be used during childbirth are:
Lavender and Clary Sage are essential oils that promote peace and relaxation. Inhale this oil between contractions for enhanced strength, stamina and endurance levels during delivery.
Labor Massage:As soon as contractions set in, ask your partner or friend to help you with a firm massage onto your lower back. The combination of aromatherapy and massage will help ease muscular pain and impart a feeling of confidence and reassurance. Have this blend of oils ready at least one week before your due date.

I first discovered the therapeutic benefits of this aromatherapy blend when I gave birth to my son. Ever since, I have been able to help many women cope with pregnancy and delivery. The results have always been consistent – women have reported a general feeling of well-being and confidence. The aromatic oils infuse a sense of self-assurance and minimize the pain. The essential oils in this aromatherapy blend are helpful because they:
Relieve anxiety and fear
Improve circulation and breathing
Infuse a feeling of “I can do it!”
