Research Presentation

Aromatherapy using essential oils can help reduce pain and anxiety during childbirth. Several studies have found that aromatherapy with lavender, rose, and orange oils can decrease pain levels and anxiety for women during the first stage of labor when administered by massage or inhalation. Further research is still needed but initial evidence suggests aromatherapy may help create a more positive birthing experience.
