What is HeavenlyLabor Aromatic Massage Oil?
HeavenlyLabor Aromatic Massage Oil is a 100% natural, safe and effective formula of essential therapeutic oils for use during labor to soothe and relax the mother and support healthy contractions. It is very effective when used along with a gentle massage of the abdomen or lower back area during labor.
HeavenlyLabor Aromatic Massage Oil is formulated to the highest therapeutic standards and manufactured in consultation with our clinical psychologist and a qualified aromatherapist, using ingredients specially chosen for their safety and effectiveness.
NOTE: As the oils chosen for HeavenlyLabor Aromatic Massage Oil are known to support contractions, this oil is not recommended during pregnancy and is to be used during labor only.
During pregnancy, try MellowMama Aromatic Bath Oil™ instead, which contains aromatherapy oils specially chosen for safety and relaxation during pregnancy. Our Faithful Feet Massage Oil™ and Faithful Feet Aromatic FootSpa Concentrate™ are also wonderful for use during pregnancy-all without risks or side effects.
In addition, HeavenlyLabor Aromatic Massage Oil is not intended for use on babies. New babies have very sensitive skin and aromatherapy essential oils should not be used on newborns. For newborn babies, try our Infant Massage Oil™ and for infants over 12 weeks use Blissful Baby Aromatic Massage Oil™.
Soothing with a gentle touch
The calming and soothing powers of touch for women during labor are well-known. Gentle massage at the time of labor will help to relax the mother and aid in the production of "feel-good hormones" (a.k.a. endorphins) to gently soothe mothers during labor and support healthy contractions.
Touch and massage are also reassuring and help the mother feel safe and cared for - an important component of a happy, healthy birth, and preparing the mother for bonding with her baby.
The natural way
Women who are massaged by their partners, midwives, doulas or other support figures during labor experience pain relief and have even been shown to have shorter labors overall. Touch and massage also help a woman relax, and the more tranquil she is, the more efficient labor will be.
When a woman is stressed, she releases adrenaline, which counteracts the effects of oxytocin, the hormone that produces contractions. Prepare yourself mentally, physically and spiritually for the birth by reading books on childbirth, joining a support group for pregnant women, speaking to other mothers or your own mother or mother-in-law.
In addition, integrating natural and homeopathic remedies into the process can greatly support a natural birth and easy labor – providing soothing and uplifting properties and supporting healthy and efficient contractions. HeavenlyLabor Aromatic Massage Oil is very effective when used along with a gentle massage of the abdomen or lower back area during labor. |
