Clary Sage is well known for its supportive properties in labour and birth. It’s a great oil to use during the transfer from home to birthing centre/hospital, and also to assist with the passing of the placenta.
Not only is it supporting birth progression, it’s also filled with calming and analgesic properties.

It’s not recommended to use before 37 weeks when baby is full term. I would take that one step further and recommend not using it until labour has already begun.

Why? Because starting before is an induction, and an intervention that your baby and body may not be ready for.

I’ve spoken to so many mums who have used clary sage before baby is ready; this can lead to you being in early labour for days. Another mum used it in her bath - her waters broke as she got out of the birth - then nothing else and she ended up going down the route of induction then.

If you have decided that induction is the right course of action for you and your baby, you can use clary sage (or even better the clary calm blend) alongside induction methods. As shown in the example testimonial.

Hey Mama’s…some important info I want to share with you around peppermint oil.

Now I don’t want to scare you off this oil, cos it’s amazing but there is some important info you need to be aware of.

Peppermint is really supporting for your energy and focus. It brings clarity and calm, with a huge boost of energy (and no crash!)

It’s brilliant to naturally energise you through pregnancy brain fog and if you become tired during your birth and need a lift.

It can be tempting to lean really hard on this oil particularly during the first few days postpartum…however (and this is the important bit!) it can decrease breast milk production. So I would go easy on it until your feeding journey is established…then use it in very small amounts and see if you notice a difference.

Luckily it’s in and out of your system very quickly, so it’s an easy adjustment to make if you do notice a drop in milk supply.

- side note I’ve never experienced any difference in my milk 🥛 and I use peppermint almost daily 🍃 😆
