Aromatherapy at childbirth

One option that offers relief and helps with the labor is aromatherapy. Even though aromatherapy has powerful effects, it does relieve a woman from pain. But its pleasant smell can change the perception of pain, relaxes the woman, and has a beneficial effect on the delivery progress. In the delivery room we use it in the form of massages of the lower abdomen, back, sacral area, between and around the shoulder or in the form of a warm bath. The woman's partner or another entourage may also perform the massage. We use essential oils from Nobilis Tilia

We also use the Flower Essence "Birth" to support mental well-being and physical health during the delivery. They can be used on the skin and in the air. A combination of internal use of the Flower Essence and its external application in the form of hydrosols is excellent.

Vaginal steaming

Herbal steaming can make the last stage of pregnancy more pleasant and influence the progress of delivery through relaxation, warmth and the effects of herbs.
Properly chosen herbs can help eliminate unwanted bacteria and yeast, which many women suffer from during pregnancy. They help to keep the vaginal microflora balanced, while also having a positive effect on the birth canal and the smooth progress of the delivery.
The warm steam from the steamer itself has the effect of softening the perieum tissues, which becomes more pliable and elastic. It warms up the genitals, relaxes the pelvic floor muscles, improves bowel peristalsis, and the steam also helps psychologically.

It is advisable to use it from the 38th week of pregnancy on. We recommend to consult it with a midwife who will also provide practical information on how to use the steamer in the comfort of your home.
Herbal mixtures from Steamy can be purchased in the delivery room.

Rebozo - a supporting scarf for the pregnant belly

Rebozo is the name for a traditional scarf originating in Mexico, where women have used it for centuries. The width of this scarf is 65 cm and the lengths vary, usually from 1.8 m to 2.7 m.

Pregnant women can use Rebozo techniques to release tension in the body, relieve back pain, leg pain, lumbar pain and the underbelly area. Rebozo also supports the pregnant belly, eliminating back pain once the belly grows. For wrapping the tummy in pregnancy, we recommend using a wrap that is about 35 cm wide and about 4 m long.

Relaxation techniques with Rebozo induce a feeling of the overall well-being, joy, happiness and harmony. With the help of Rebozo, it is even possible to try to adjust the end-of-pelvis position of the baby in the tummy during pregnancy. Rebozo can also be used during labour when the baby is not in an optimal position or when labour is not progressing. However, it is essential to perform Rebozo exercises by prior education.

Our midwives who work with Rebozo use its help with pregnant women and then with the delivery itself. The scarf can also be used to wrap the tummy after a vaginal childbirth.
