Episode 35 - Essential Oils for Pregnancy, Labor, and Birth

About the episode:

Essential 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.
