What
is BabyNature HeavenlyLabor Massage Oil and how can it help me?
The calming and pain-relieving powers of touch for women during
labor are well-known. As most midwives know, gentle massage at the time of labor will
help to relax the mother, aid in the production of endorphins
or “feel-good hormones”, relieve pain and promote healthy contractions.
Touch and massage are also reassuring and help the mother to feel
safe and cared for - an important component of a happy, healthy
birth, which also helps to prepare the mother for bonding with her baby. HeavenlyLabor
Massage Oil contains essential therapeutic
aromatherapy oils
of Clary Sage, Lavender and Jasmine to soothe and relax, relieve labor and back pains and promote healthy contractions. It is very
effectively used for gentle massage of the abdomen or lower back
area during labor.

How do I use HeavenlyLabor Massage Oil?
Place the bottle in a receptacle of hot (not boiling) water to
warm. Pour approximately 5 ml onto hands and massage
slowly and gently onto the back and abdominal areas during labor.
This can be done by your midwife, birth attendant, your partner
or anyone else who is sharing the birth experience with you. Listen to the mother and continue for as long as needed.
Caution:
As some of the
therapeutic oils in this product help to promote contractions,
HeavenlyLabor massage Oil is not recommended for use during pregnancy,
except during labor. Not intended for infants.

What are the ingredients of HeavenlyLabor Massage Oil?
HeavenlyLabor Massage Oil contains pure essential therapeutic
grade aromatherapy oils of Clary
Sage, Lavender and Jasmine in a natural, vegetable carrier oil.
Clary Sage
oil strengthens the respiratory and muscular systems during labor
and facilitates regular, effective contractions which speed up
the birth process. This essential oil also relieves pain
and tension.
Lavender oil
dulls and eases uterine pain and also increases the strength of
contractions while calming the mother. Lavender is wonderful for promoting relaxation
and can also prevent and reduce nausea.
Jasmine
Oil improves the strength and efficiency of contractions, reduces labor pains and increases breast-milk supply.
It is also wonderfully uplifting and pampering and is known as
one of the luxury oils due to its beautiful fragrance.
Associated with Spring and new beginnings, Jasmine is a perfect
companion during childbirth!

FAQ’s
What are the advantages of massage during labor?
Women
who are massaged by their partners, midwives, doulas or other
support figures during labor experience good pain relief and have
even been shown to have shorter labors overall. Touch
and massage also help a woman to relax and the more relaxed she
is the more efficient her labor will be. When a woman is stressed,
she releases adrenaline which counteracts the effects of oxytocin,
the hormone that produces contractions. Massage helps to release
feel-good endorphins to assist with a natural birth experience.
Aromatherapy oils especially chosen for labor, can add
significantly to the therapeutic benefits of massage.
I am not an expert.
How should labor massage be done?
You do not need to be an expert to massage the laboring mother
during childbirth! Gentle
rubbing of the abdomen and deeper massage of the lower back during
contractions generally prove the most useful and effective technique
- although each woman will have her own preferences during labor
and should be encouraged to tell you what works best for them.
Begin gently and allow the mother to be your best guide as to
what she needs during her unique experience of labor.
Don't
neglect other areas such as the head, face, feet, shoulders and hands which
can all become tense during labor. Muscles can be kneaded between
the thumb and fingers. Massage strokes should be continuous, rhythmic,
and definite, going from up to down and down to up without lifting
the hands.
Can I use this massage oil during pregnancy?
No - as the
oils chosen for HeavenlyLabor Massage Oil are known to stimulate
contractions, it is not recommended during pregnancy and is to
be used during labor only. However, BabyNature
MellowMama Bath
Oil,
StretchEasy
Massage Oil and Faithful Feet
Massage Oils all contain aromatherapy oils especially chosen for safety and
relaxation during pregnancy.
Can I use this massage oil for my baby?
No - this massage
oil is intended for adult women during labor. New babies have
very sensitive skin and only certain aromatherapy essential oils should
be used on newborns and infants. See our
Infant Massage Oil (Birth - 12 weeks) and
Blissful Baby Massage Oil (for babies over
12 weeks).

Testimonials
'Your HeavenlyLabor Massage Oil is just what the name says
it is: absolutely divine! After seeing how much massaging
my sister with this oil helped her when she was in labor, I bought
it for myself now that I am the one expecting. I am really looking
forward to having this wonderful product to help me through labor.
I know the memories this aromatic oil brings back always fill
me with strength after having been at my sister’s side during
the birth of her son.' Carolyn G, MA
'Tranquil BirthBath and HeavenlyLabor Massage Oil were wonderful
to use when I was having my baby and I want to recommend them
to other mothers! During labor I relaxed in the bath and
it really helped to relax me. My midwife used the massage oil
afterwards and it helped so much with my back pain. Thank
you for all your amazing products for pregnancy and for all the
information and support!' Dulcie
