During labor, clove oil was sometimes used as a massage oil to increase the strength of the contractions. Marigold was also thought to strengthen contractions, as was myrrh. Parsley was thought to be helpful to get the uterus back to normal after childbirth, although, since it was thought to stimulate the muscles of the uterus, pregnant women were advised to avoid it during pregnancy. Chamomile was used as relaxant during childbirth.
