Clary sage oil is often cited as a natural remedy to help induce labor due to its potential to increase your oxytocin levels. However, it should only be used under the guidance of your healthcare provider and a certified aromatherapist. Clary sage oil must be diluted properly with a carrier oil and used safely to avoid any adverse effects.
Improper use of clary sage oil can lead to adverse effects such as excessive uterine contractions, which can cause fetal distress, decreased oxygen supply to the baby, and potentially lead to complications like preterm labor or labor that progresses too quickly. In some cases, it may also cause nausea, dizziness, or skin irritation if applied directly without proper dilution.
Always consult your healthcare provider before using clary sage oil to ensure it’s safe for you and your baby.
