Anyone try clary sage or clove oil to induce labor??(Aromatherapy)

" 1) Aromatherapy

The following essential oils are highly recommended to avoid when you're pregnant as they do stimulate uterine contractions. If you have anyone with you in early stages of pregnancy, do not burn or inhale near them.

Clove Oil- Encourages uterine contractions Clary Sage- Encouraged uterine contractions

Put 3-4 drops on a tissue and smell the essential oils. You will begin to feel some action pretty quickly."
