Clary Sage Essential Oil - 10mls

100% pure essential oil, bottled in the UK in an amber glass bottle

Soothing, anti-inflammatory and calming but is also a uterotonic which means it can stimulate contractions in your uterus. there is no evidence to say that it can induce labour (or we would just use this instead of inductions in hospital!) but lots of people say it can strengthen contractions. It can also help with fear and anxiety before or during labour.

£6: Collection in person only

Note:

• For external use only and do not apply it undiluted to your skin (mix with a carrier oil)

• Only use after 37 weeks of pregnancy and consult your midwife if you have any questions/concerns

• Store in a cool dry place

• Do a patch test before using

How to use:

• Put 4 drops in a bowl of warm water and use it as a footbath

• Mix it with 20mls an unscented carrier oil - 4 drops if you are pregnant but then 8 drops if you are in labour

• Put 4 drops in a bowl of water and then drop a flannel in, then wring out and apply to skin. A warm towel can go on top of it to increase absorption

• Put 4 drops in a bowl of warm water, swish it around and then inhale it with your head under a towel or leave near you to inhale

More than ever, people are accessing The Village Midwife Accessibility fund. Generally this is built up and put aside as a percentage of the income we receive from courses.

Recently some clients have asked if they can donate to the fund to enable more parents to access our antenatal and postnatal courses when finances are tight, as they know first hand how valuable the support can be.

Currently about 15% of TVM clients in Bucks access the fund so that they can do antenatal or postnatal courses with us plus we offer payment plans, a 35% discount for solo parents and a £25 NHS discount on antenatal courses.

If you wanted to donate to the fund - you can do so here. You can also support us by sharing information with local parents about how they can access a course with us if finances are a barrier (especially during the cost of living crisis in the UK which we are all feeling the stress of) or sharing the word generally about our courses!

Thank you, Sophie xx
