Of course, pregnancy and labour are a huge part of that, and the experiences you have stay with you for a lifetime. So, following on from our recent blog about preparing mums and partners for childbirth through hypnotherapy, we take a look at how aromatherapy can be used to support mums-to-be during labour.
In a recent interview with Aromatherapy Associates, leaders in the world of aromatherapy and spa treatments, we talked about how essential oils can be used to change your mood.

When speaking to them about aromatherapy during childbirth, their recommendation was to use oils that you love the smell of. In particular, use those that remind you of a calm or happy place.
Of course, the challenge with essential oils is ensuring they’re easy to use when you need them.
N/B: You should always consult your doctor before using aromatherapy during pregnancy or in a hospital environment.
