The Mere Botanicals Birth Comb is a thoughtfully designed, natural tool that offers gentle yet effective support for pain relief during labour. Based on acupressure principles, the comb works by stimulating pressure points in the hand, specifically the area connected to pain modulation- helping to redirect the brain’s focus and reduce the intensity of contraction sensations. This distraction technique can create a grounding effect, supporting the body’s natural ability to cope with labour discomfort.
Small and discreet, it’s a simple yet effective way to bring comfort and calm to your labour experience. Perfect for use in both home and hospital settings. It encourages mindfulness and a sense of control, making it a supportive tool for those seeking a natural, low-intervention birth.

How To Use
Hold the comb with the teeth pressing into the base of your fingers, just below the knuckles. Apply pressure during contractions to activate acupressure points and help distract from pain. Use as a grounding tool to support focus, calm breathing, and a sense of control.
Switch hands or adjust grip for comfort as needed.
Care
Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight, and occasionally apply a natural oil to maintain the wood’s finish. Check regularly for any splinters or signs of wear before use.
