Ep 35 Essential Oils for Pregnancy, Labor, and Birth

Send us Fan MailEssential oils, if used correctly and safely, can be used during pregnancy, labor, and birth.  In this episode we chat about what exactly an essential oil is and some things to look for when searching for oils (think quality!).  From using oils to invoke calmness and focus during labor, to using oils to help relieve pain and cope during back labor and transition - there are lots of different uses.  We talk about different oils to use, including some to avoid, as well as when to use them during different parts of the birthing process, and different ways to use the oils (aromatically and topically).  Be sure to check out the resources link for lots more information.Resources:Guide to Perineal Massage (video)Essential Oils for LaborNational Association for Holistic Aromatherapy - safety informationAromatherapy in Midwifery PracticeEssentials Oils and Pregnancy videosThis podcast was created from a desire to share conversations and interviews about topics from pregnancy and birth to motherhood and the importance of a healthy body and mind through it all.  Our goal is to bring you fun, interesting, and helpful conversations that excite you and make you want to learn more.  We hope what we share will make an impact and help someone else along their journey.  We believe that when you are aligned in body, mind, and your intuition, you can conquer anything!  If you like what you are hearing and you don’t want to miss our newest episodes, be sure and tap subscribe.
