Postpartum Herbal Care

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding – these are some of the incredible things that a woman’s body can do. They are also profoundly depleting, as any mother will readily attest. We tend not to fully appreciate how taxing the transition to motherhood can be. Many mothers struggle with sleeplessness, baby blues, and other physical ailments for months and years after having children. Ideally, women should combine the Postpartum Kit with ample rest and recovery time.

Basic version includes:

• A monthly supply of Mental Tranquility reduces fatigue, improves mood, and aids sleep. Take one dose about one hour before bed.
  

• A monthly supply of Women’s Formula that supports the rebuilding of blood, and strengthens the body so it can stabilize after birth. Take one dose in the morning.
  

• Mugwort tea helps tone the uterus after labor and reduces afterbirth pains
  

• Mugwort stickers are burned on specific parts of the body to encourage circulation, warmth, and healing (instructions included)
  

• My ebook on Chinese postpartum recovery traditions gives guidance and support to new mamas going through the critical Golden Month period

Deluxe version also includes:

• Goji berries for snacks, soups, and tea
  

• Bottoms Up Balm soothes dry, irritated, or inflamed tissues, in sensitive areas or elsewhere on mama or baby’s body
  

• Mugwort heating pads can be used on the belly and low back
  

• Sitz pads can be used as a compress or boiled to provide a no-mess herbal tea that can be added to shallow baths. These herbs soothe the genital area and speed healing.
