Which oils can I use for labor?

Some essential oils that are commonly used during labor include basil, bergamot, clary sage, frankincense, helichrysum, lavender, orange, myrrh, and black pepper. These oils are often chosen for their calming, grounding, or comforting aromas during the birthing process. Because labor is a sensitive time, essential oils should be used carefully and with guidance from a qualified healthcare professional or birth provider.
