AT Blends I Used For Labor And Delivery

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to share:

When I went into labor with my son (did a drug free labor and delivery)

I made 3 blends.

 

One was for the laboring tub ...

it was a milk bath blend of Lavander and Geranium

 

Another was a massage blend of

Geranium, Rose, Clary Sage, Jasmine and Lavender

 

Lastly I had a diffuser blend, which I put into a portable battery

operated diffuser ....

Spikenard, Jasmine, Rose, Neroli, and Ylang Ylang

 

I personally felt they REALLY helped me through the most trying parts of

L & D (A.k.a. transition!) .. and my baby came into the world using that

sense of smell and detecting something wonderful

Ok, how do I order the diffuser blend? And where can I get a battery powered diffuser? I have only 3 more months left

I found mine at a local health food store chain Vitamin Cottage (you can

buy an A/C adapter for it too) .... I'll find the brand name for you ..

my XH held the diffuesr up to my nose in between contractions and I fell

into 5 second SNORING DEEP sleeps .. it helped SO much when I needed

that energy to have those 5 second bursts of DEEP REM dreaming even

sleep .. and I feel the oils helped me get to that state of relaxation

when I felt like I wanted to DIE! *LOL* My midwife said she never saw

anyone in Transition so relaxed between contractions that you could

clearly see me in REM sleep! I honestly can't even imagine it being

worse *LOL* Thank heavens I had my herbs and oils and Bradley Birthing

method training!

Thank you! I'll definitely want to get some of that blend. And I'll hunt down a battery powered diffuser, we can't use the AC outlets at my birthing center. Maybe this time I'll get to use the tub! (Last time, my water broke and had meconium, so no tub for me with AJ ) That and my enya CDs should do the trick. Now if I could just teach DH how to properly massage......

For my first labor and delivery I used a lot of patchouli and my veil of

peace blend. Neither are your typically relaxing type scents, but are

more geared to hormone stimulation.

 

The purpose of using these blends was to keep my hormones up and my

adrenaline up. I was in labor for a little over 3 days with my first

one, and the actual pushing part was about 6 hours. However, I never

used drugs or sedatives of any sort other than my self prescribed

herbals and aromatherapy blends. I also spent most of my labor dancing,

and my pushing part squatting with other women dancing and drumming (I

was still dancing in a way, but not so much movement).

 

The veil of peace contains

Sandalwood - for healing, protection

White sage - for cleansing

Rosemary - for remembrance

Pine - for cleansing

Pennyroyal - to purify

Orange - for luck

Myrrh - to break the hex

Lotus - for divine protection

Juniper - calming, healing, protection, exorcism

Eucalyptus - for healing

 

 

Dragon's Blood - extra power

Copal - for protection

Clove - to improve focus

Chamomile - to harmonize

Cedarwood - for healing

Benzoin - to clear the negativity

Basil - for mental clarity and love

Angelica - protects from evil

 

Rose - for love among people

White Oak Bark - for the power to go on

Star anise - wisdom of the stars

Vervain - ancient power

Wolfsbane (arnica) - to protect us

Jasmine - for love

Oakmoss - to heal

Bee pollen - to work together

Lavender - for love, peace

Frankincense - for spiritual harmony

Balm of Gilead buds - to heal wounds

Heal all herb - the power of nature

 

To this blend I added sea salt and quartz crystal. Group A is 4 parts,

group B is 3 parts, groups C is 1/2 parts. I have made this other times,

just picking and choosing some of the herbs when I don't have all of

them. BTW, this is a magickally geared recipe, blended for the purpose

behind the herbs, not necessarily the smell. It just sort of happened by

accident that it turned out to smell so good. Now I make every

conceivable thing (bath salts, lotions, creams, salves, etc) in this

scent simply because people keep asking for it again and again.

 

And while we are still on the subject of labor and making it good, let

me give you my gemstone massage lecturette:)

 

From personal experience, and many observed experiences, I do not think

there is anything better for a laboring mom than a partner with some oil

and a handful of tumbled gemstones (quarter size or larger). They don't

need to be round, actually odd shaped helps, and they shouldn't be too

big, 3 or 4 comfortably in the hand. Have your partner hold them, or

stick them under your arms to warm them up. Then roll them all over the

lower back while you do the waltz support position (woman's hands around

partner's neck, with knees relaxed, head resting on partner's chest and

swaying around, rocking her hips back and forth. Partner provides

support and stability, and uses their hands to massage and support the

lower back). Add oil or lotion if you want (adding scents at your

discretion).

 

Why it works:

The solidness of the stones, as compared to human hands. Hands are

great, and perfect for massage. However during labor things are intense,

including the immense pressure being exerted on our usually weak lower

backs as the baby sits there pushing the cervix open. The hardness of

the stones is what is needed to really push on the muscles and cause the

proper relaxing and tensing that is the benefit of a good massage. Just

like any good massage it removes toxins by stimulating fresh blood flow

and pumping the muscles without creating a lack of oxygen caused during

a 'workout.'

 

The electrical capacity of crystals. Crystals are made of the same

molecules as water. As we have all seen, crystals and water are great

electrical conductors. The skin carries a very minor electrical charge.

When you roll conductors all over it, constantly moving and pushing and

pulling, it creates a moving field (as opposed to the static one we are

normally in). Moving electrical current also moves ions! This also pulls

blood in and moves it around, and it stimulates the muscle mildly (and

the other tissues around the area) without causing fatigue!

 

Since crystals can carry an electrical charge, the can also carry heat.

We all know that heat goes a long way to relax the muscles and the body.

So, now you have three things going for you. And as an added bonus, it

takes a lot less work on the end of the partner doing the massage to

roll the stones, therefore they can keep it up for longer.

 

Blessings,

Soseneda

I sure wish I knew all of this wonderful stuff oh-so-many-years-ago. I would have preferred a mid-wife after my sil had one, but it is not legal in Iowa to practice mid-wifery unless you are Amish. I do agree that relaxation is the key to a more painless delivery.

 

From my first one I decided that I am in control and this is going to be a calm experience. By the time the third one rolled around I had it down pat. There was a woman across the hall in L & D that was screaming her head off. There I was, meditating and relaxing. The nurses came in and asked if I was ok, I was so quiet. I said, "Ya, I'm ok and the woman across the hall would be too if she would just shut-up and relax." They loved that, they were getting tired of her too I think.

 

My second was induced......BAD BAD THING. The whole L & D was just under three hours.....all hard. Still I tried to relax.

 

Do any of you think that being relaxed makes the L & D time shorter? None of my L & Ds were over 12 hours.
