Description

Before heading to the hospital to deliver your child, make sure to throw a fine-tooth comb in your luggage. While this item may seem trivial at the moment, many mothers have used the teeth of their comb to curb labor pains and reduce stress during the delivery process.

One of the acupressure points that can be targeted during labour with The Wave Comb is the Laogong point. This point is also known as the Pericardium 8 (P8) point and is located in the centre of the palm, between the second and third metacarpal bones. Applying pressure to this point can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, making it an excellent tool for pain relief during labour. Tactile stimulation – The sensation of the comb on the skin can provide a sense of comfort and relief. Running the comb through the hair, along the arms or legs, or over the shoulders can help Women relax and reduce tension. For some mums, childbirth can be a beautiful, enlightening experience. For most mums, however, childbirth is extremely painful. Like “get-this-baby-out-now-before-I-hit-you-over-the-head-with-those-forceps” painful. You have heard the rumours about using combs in labour for pain relief. How on earth could this be true? Combs in labour and The Pain Gate Theory? Most birthing people find this tool most useful in active labour when their contractions are stronger, more frequent and more intense.Number of Teeth: Get your doula’s or your practitioner’s advice on whether your comb should have many teeth or just a few. It may depend on your specific pain management needs. If possible, try out combs with more and less teeth and see which types feel best when you massage yourself.

For these same reasons, holding a comb can help you deal with pain in other circumstances as well, such as a toothache, cramps in your legs or chronic pain in your body. Or, it could be that gripping the comb or feeling its pressure simply distracts you from the pain. Whatever it is, many women claim that the birthing comb helped manage their labor pain. How to Use a Birthing Comb High quality material: Made from sustainable, waterproof, splinter-free peach wood. Add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to the wood for ultimate relaxation.

Other options to reduce labor pains without medication include:

Reflexology Comb for Labour + Birth in pearl or tortoise shell made from eco friendly cellulose acetate (highly biodegradable) and imprinted with our signature Seasons of Mama mantra

This coping method comes from some traditional cultures around the world. When a contraction comes on, squeezing the comb will press into the woman's palm, which can hit acupuncture points in the hand. She will then relax her grip between contractions and then repeat. If you’re nervous about giving birth and want a way to reduce labor pain, squeezing on a fine-tooth comb may provide a solution for your woes. More importantly, the comb can act as a psychological anchor mechanism that relieves anxiety, worry and stress that inevitably come when giving birth. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): This is a pain reducer and a mild sedative that can help you feel more relaxed during a contraction. relax so it’s easier to deal with the pain of childbirth. You give yourself laughing gas by holding a small mask to your mouth and breathing in and out with the mask on, then taking it off. Reducing your anxiety about childbirth pain While birthing combs are based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no conclusive proof that acupressure works. It could be a placebo effect — thinking that the birthing comb will work might help lower your perception of pain. To prevent risk of injury please ensure to swap hands regularly and use the safety grooves on the sides of the comb to ensure no damage is caused whilst adding pressure to your palm.This difference is beneficial to a woman in labor because you do not need a professional to apply the pressure — you can do it yourself or have your partner do it. The third explanation for why birthing combs work so well is because of “ gate control theory of pain.” According to this theory, your mind can only process so many physical sensations at once. The “gate” refers to your nervous system that either allows pain signals into your brain or denies pain messages into your brain. Obviously, we are trying to close the gate to those painful labor contractions! In conclusion, managing the pain of childbirth is a unique and individual experience for every Woman. While some choose to use medication or other medical interventions, many are now turning to natural remedies and alternative techniques to help cope with the discomfort. With the right techniques and tools, Women can feel empowered and in control during the childbirth process, creating a positive and transformative experience for both Mother and child. Repeat as Needed: Keep at it during contractions or whenever you need some relief. You can mix up the pressure to find your sweet spot. As you near your due date, review your birth plan with your doctor and discuss all your pain-relief options. Many moms say complementary strategies were helpful whether or not they ended up also using medications like an epidural.
