Birthing Aromatherapy Massage Oil
With Jasmine, Clary Sage & Lavender pure essential oils
A light and easily absorbed blend of Grapeseed carrier oil and Jasmine, Clary Sage, and Lavender pure essential oils, producing a massage oil that is very calming, relaxing, and excellent for assisting childbirth. Perfect for Doulas, Midwives, and birthing partners this oil can be used for both general massage and for stimulating specific pressure points thought to be helpful during childbirth, such as the pituitary reflex in the centre of the big toe pads. Our 10ml bottle would make a perfect gift for any woman preparing for birth! Birthing Massage Oil has a warm and comforting floral herby aroma.
As uterine tonics the very properties that make Jasmine and Clary Sage contraindicated during pregnancy are the reason why they are useful in assisting childbirth, both during labour and to help start late labour. Both oils are among the best at countering anxiety and stress, helping you stay calm and relaxed. Clary Sage is known for helping with post-natal depression due to its ability to balance hormones and mood swings, and Jasmine can help to birth the placenta and stimulate milk production. The addition of a small amount of Lavender harmonises the blend, plus Lavender is gentle uterine stimulant, making it too useful in assisting childbirth. Top that off with the fact that this blend is an excellent skin balm, Jasmine in particular being good for stretch marks, look no further for the perfect massage oil to use both during and after childbirth. As ever always consult with professionals involved to ensure that the use of this aromatherapy massage oil is appropriate.
Kathryn Anne Birthing Massage Oil comes in 125ml or 200ml recyclable natural HDPE bottles with a silver-collared lotion pump for ease of use. The lotion pump used on the smaller bottles doesn’t pop up, you just turn it anti-clockwise to enable the pump and back again to lock it – great for traveling. Doula feedback has indicated that it would be very useful to sell 10ml bottles of this oil for personal use by Mums, so to that end we have included a 10ml option in an amber glass dropper bottle.
Verina, Doula –
This oil is absolutely the perfect blend for supporting labour and birth. I call it my liquid oxytocin! Sometimes I just rub a few drops into my own hands and rub them together in the vicinity or I put a drop on a tissue and offer it to labouring women to sniff from time to time – sometimes I go for the full hand, foot, back or bump massage! The effect seems to be the same however it’s used. It is calming, it’s a powerful oxytocin stimulant enabling women to sink deeper into the Birthing process and it smells divine!!
If you are a birth worker, go for the big bottle! I get through about a bottle a year. If you’re buying this as a luscious gift for a pregnant friend or relative, the small bottle will be ample. This is literally the gift of love!
