Essential oils for childbirth : using aromatherapy to reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and lessen pain with any birth plan / Michaela Boldy, RN. - pages cm
Conventional medicine does not address the fear and anxiety women experience in labor. Essential Oils for Childbirth provides mothers-to-be and their partners the information they need to address this fear and anxiety by safely using aromatherapy to increase the laboring mother's wellbeing and childbirth experience. Research-based and including the full clinical report from the successful clinical trial at El Camino Hospital in Northern California of the author's own childbirth blends, the book highlights the effectiveness of aromatherapy as an inexpensive, noninvasive practice to increase comfort in childbirth for all mothers--whether they are planning a natural birth or one involving medical interventions. Moms and partners will learn how to safely apply labor blends during childbirth, create their own effective labor blends, and massage their babies (and use essential oils to prevent and treat diaper rash and help soothe minor cuts); the author also provides resources and important information on childbirth and essential oils.
