Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I wanted to start making small (1 oz bottles) containers of massage oils to bring with me in my birth kit when I attend births. Can someone recommend an excellent resource for me to purchase and learn from? TIA Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi Dale, The blend I use and sell is: In a base of Jojoba oil the following essential oils: Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Jasmine absolute, Rose Otto, Rose absolute, Frankincense, Bergamot, Spikenard, Neroli, Geranium, Palmarosa If/when I have the time a little later I can go into detail about why I use each oil. But in a nutshell, as a blend, it is very relaxing, and worked very well during my son's unmedicated L & D (and I hope it'll work just as well this time around). It can be used as a massage blend, a bath oil and a diffused oil . *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com chris_b_11217 [DBTenn8653] Friday, November 01, 2002 1:51 PM Massage Oils for Labor I wanted to start making small (1 oz bottles) containers of massage oils to bring with me in my birth kit when I attend births.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Well, I have lavender and frankincense! I also have patchouli, sandalwood, ylang ylang and clary sage. I purchased them not quite blindly but just about. I'd 'heard' they were positive for labor and I thought I'd buy oils that I liked myself in case I got 'stuck' with them. Oh, I also have lemongrass for footbaths. I was sent a book recommendation. I can't seem to find a good site for labor and massage oils. I went to google and only found sites that sell a pre-mixed oil.
