Clary sage oil- how to use?

[EmC96]

Hello

I’ve just invested in some clary sage oil as I’ve read it’s good at bringing on labor. I’ve been in early labor since Friday slowly dilating and getting on/off cramping/constructions.

Which is the best way to use this? In the bath? Massage on belly??

Some suggestions here, just don’t use neat on the skin. Wishing you all the best for your little ones arrival

Methods of use: 18 smelled clary sage directly from bottle, gauze, tissue, scent stick, cloth etc. Application by tapers were found to be useful as they could be removed if the effect was too strong. 17 used a diffuser whilst 16 used a massage blend of 1 or 2% dilution. 10 used essential oils in the bath, whilst 6 used compresses.

One person massaged 1% blend of clary sage onto acupressure points and reported strong and regular contractions starting within ten minutes of use. Another found it helped to increase the strength and frequency of contractions every time. One report of indirect use via a burner was not found to be helpful
