I've been reading up on essential oils to help in labor and delivery.

    I make my own blends for my clients. With EOs, it's important to buy good quality oils. It's not about perfume, in a way it's about the herbal quality of the oil (to put it in similar terms with something more people are familiar with). The most readil
