Anyone know anything about alternative health for childbirth/healing? I've been noting down every time I've seen on MN or elsewhere things people consider effective, although I now have quite a long list... Anyone got any experience of using any of these?
Aloe Vera gel
Witch Hazel gel
(both to put on maternity pads or straight onto bits)
Arnica cream (again for sore bits or general use)
Nelson's Burn Cream (for sore nips)
Lavender oil
Clary Sage oil (think this is meant to help bring on labour)
Rose oil
Evening Primrose oil
(think these are either for putting in baths or massaging)
Any other recommendations for during the birth or anything else very welcome.
