Birth Roller - For Labour Support

Birth Roller - For Labour Support

Clary Sage · Rose · Copaiba · Frankincense · 10ml

There is a moment in labour when everything asks you to surrender. To stop fighting the wave and let it move through you. To trust your body, your baby, and the ancient wisdom written into every cell of you.

Birth Roller was made for that moment. A grounding, calming aromatherapy blend to carry you through the rhythm and intensity of labour, so you can soften, breathe and stay present through the most primal, powerful thing a body can do.

Not just a roller. A hand to hold in the birth room.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Clary Sage
The midwife’s oil, and here’s why. Clary sage has a centuries-old reputation for encouraging the womb to work, which is why midwives save it for labour and never use it earlier in pregnancy. In birth rooms it’s traditionally used to support strong, steady surges, ease tension and help the body soften and let go. Warm, earthy and deeply grounding.

Rose
For the heart. Rose has been used for centuries to open, soften and reassure, bringing courage and tenderness to one of the most vulnerable passages of your life. She is the love note in this blend.

Copaiba
The deep soother. A precious Amazonian resin, traditionally used for physical ease and to calm the nervous system through the intensity of transition. Lesser known, quietly essential.

Frankincense
The ancient steadier. Used in sacred ritual for thousands of years to slow the breath, deepen presence and anchor the spirit when the mind wants to run.

Ask the Herbalist

When should I start using Birth Roller?

From 37 weeks onwards. Clary sage is traditionally known to encourage the womb, so it should not be used before full term. Do not use it in the first or second trimester.

Where should I apply it during labour?

Wrists, inner ankles and the soles of your feet are all lovely pulse points. The lower belly during surges, or the lower back applied by your birth partner, are also beautiful. Breathe it in from your wrists after applying.

Can my birth partner use it too?

Absolutely, and we encourage it. Having your partner roll it onto your lower back during surges keeps them involved and gives you something grounding to focus on together.

Can I use it on my period?

Yes, it's lovely for moon cycles. Clary sage and copaiba are traditionally used for crampy days. Apply to the lower belly and lower back with gentle massage. Not for use during pregnancy before 37 weeks.

Can I use it around my newborn?

We recommend using it during labour only and switching to unscented products once baby arrives. Newborn airways are sensitive, and strong aromatherapy blends are best kept away from them in the early weeks.
