  • 1. To prepare for childbirth
  • 2. To relieve pain on D-Day
  • Why does it work?

1. To prepare for childbirth

Take 1 sugar cube and add 1 drop of clary sage essential oil. Consume it 2 times a day.

Use this remedy only the day before your presumed delivery date (D-Day), or if your pregnancy goes past term—to avoid triggering early labor.

2. To relieve pain on D-Day

A few days before your expected due date, prepare a small glass bottle.

Mix 10 drops of clary sage essential oil, 10 drops of palmarosa essential oil, 6 drops of geranium essential oil, and 8 teaspoons of sweet almond oil. Shake well.

When contractions intensify, ask your partner or midwife to massage your lower back with gentle strokes.

Focus on the most painful areas, like your belly, sacrum, kidneys, or coccyx. This is an excellent natural pain reliever, especially for back labor.

Why does it work?

Clary sage essential oil is a well-recognized antispasmodic and natural stress reliever.

It's known to soothe pain, trigger labor, relax you during contractions, and ease discomfort.

This oil promotes cervical dilation, helping delivery progress faster.

Do not use it throughout pregnancy—only on the last day before due date.

Always consult your doctor first.

Review precautions for essential oil use before trying these.
