St. John’s wort oil massage during vaginal childbirth
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using St. John’s wort oil for perineum massage (the area between the vagina and anus) during active labor can be helpful for women planning a vaginal birth. It looks at normal, low-risk pregnancies to see what difference this comfort-and-care approach may make.
