Labour Comb

Your brain controls how you experience different sensations but can only concentrate on a few different feelings at the same time. Gate Control Theory suggests that using a non-painful stimulus can help block other, more painful signals. 

Gently squeezing a comb in your hand during labour can create sensations which distract your brain from the intensity of surges or contractions allowing you to focus and stay in control when you need it most. 

In addition to drug free pain relief your labour comb will also stimulate an acupressure point known as P8 Laogong, or ‘Labour Palace’. Stimulating this acupressure point can help ease anxiety, calm restlessness and soothe tension.

The benefits of your labour comb can be easily used at other times, even when you are not pregnant, such as dental treatment, tattoos, job interviews, or any time you might feel heightened anxiety or pain. 

Your labour comb is made from splinter free, natural peach wood.

Swap hands every 15-20 minutes to create continuous sensation and to avoid damaging your skin.
