Flower essences in labor?

Does anyone have experience using flower essences in labor? I'm slightly familiar with Rescue Remedy, but it's not a comfort zone for me.

I have a client who has asked me to use the following with her in labor: Mugwort Moon Magic (oil to rub on her), Emergency Mist (like Rescue Remedy but a mist to spray in the air in case of stressed out mama, nurses, midwives, hubbies or doulas), and Woman Essences (particularly Crowea).

Just curious if others have used any of these in labor, if so how they were used, and if you saw a positive result.

Thanks!

Wow, no idea, sorry, but that Mom sure knows what she wants, huh? Good luck!

Can't help you on this one as my experience is with Bach Flower Remedies only.

I used rescue remedy with my last labor with great results, but that's all I've used.

If you could get the names of the flowers used in the combos then we can see what they are for. Many flower essence practitioners make their own combos.

Hmmmm, I don't have a real answer to your question. I certainly defer to the more knowledgeable ladies here.
Though one thing does strike me: I don't mean to sound like a worry-wart BUT....you might want to make up a quick form for the Mama to sign because in a court of law, doing those actions might be considered dispensing medication. I know it is ridiculous to us, but rather be safe than sorry.
