Facilitate an easy labour through touch
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 an expectant mom is the more efficient the labor will be. When a woman is stressed, she releases adrenaline that 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.
The Natural Way
There is a lot that can be done to prepare yourself mentally, physically and spiritually for the birth. Read books on childbirth, join a support group for pregnant women, speak to mothers of children or even your own mother or mother-in-law. Take good care of yourself in the form of a balanced diet, getting enough rest, relieving stress, meditating and talking with your partner about the future. This will be invaluable in preparing yourself for labor, birth and parenthood. Organize a birth plan including the place you would like to deliver, who should be present and your preferences of medical interventions in different circumstances. A supportive environment at the birth has been shown to be one of the most important factors in the speed of delivery and how much pain the mother feels. Think carefully about who you would like to have present at the birth for support and consider a trained doula or birthing assistant.
What is Heavenly Labour Massage Oil?
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. Heavenly Labour 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 has Heavenly Labour Massage Oil helped others?
'Your Heavenly Labour 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.
'Tranquil BirthBath and Heavenly Labour 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!'

Ingredients:
The ingredients in BabyNature products are well-researched and have been specially chosen for their high safety profile during pregnancy and infancy.
100% NATURAL:
Up to 60% of the products we use on our skin are absorbed into our circulatory system. Sodium laurel sulfate (SLS) forms carcinogenic nitrogen compounds when combined with specific ingredients, while parabens and petrochemicals can also cause harm. Our 100% natural cosmetic products are safer, healthier alternatives as they contain absolutely no parabens, sodium laurel sulfate or harmful petrochemicals.
Heavenly Labour Massage Oil contains the following carefully selected essential aromatherapy oils in therapeutic dosage:
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!
How do I use Heavenly Labour Massage Oil?
DIRECTIONS:
Place the bottle in a receptacle of hot (not boiling) water to warm. Pour approximately 5ml 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. Continue for as long as needed.
CAUTION:
As some of the therapeutic oils in this product help to promote contractions, Heavenly Labour Massage Oil is not recommended for use during pregnancy, except during labor. Not intended for infants.
How long until I see results?
With the first soothing application of Heavenly Labour Aromatic Massage Oil, relaxation and calmness are immediately promoted. As the aromatic oils permeate the senses as the delivery progresses, healthy contractions are maintained while supporting a sense of security and calmness.
How long will a bottle last?
Heavenly Labour Aromatic Massage Oil is only suitable for use during labor. As only 5ml is recommended per application, one bottle is more than sufficient for one labor.

FAQ’s
Q: I'm not an expert. How should labor massage be done?
A:
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.
Q: Can I use this massage oil during pregnancy?
A:
No - as the oils chosen for Heavenly Labour 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 Oil all contain aromatherapy oils especially chosen for safety and relaxation during pregnancy.
Q: Can I use this massage oil for my baby?
A:
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).
