This nourishing blend of herbs is specially formulated to help support your recovery  after childbirth. Our Postpartum blend is there to promote rest, ease anxiety and increase hydration.

 

Nettle Leaf

Nettle leaf is a supreme nourisher, providing the body with a bioavailable form of iron, protein, calcium, vitamins A, D, C, and K, and chlorophyll, as well as trace minerals such as selenium, sulfur, zinc, chromium, and boron.  The presence of vitamin K makes nettle an anti-hemorrhagic plant, supporting the healthy clotting of blood. This is especially relevant for pregnancy. Nettle also strengthens blood vessels which can help prevent hemorrhoids. In the postpartum period, nettle nourishes breastmilk and continues to support both the mother and baby through the milk. Nettle supports recovery from birth by providing vitamins and minerals necessary for tissue recovery, for healthy energy levels, and for taking on the great and profound task of caring for your new baby and yourself.

 

Red Raspberry Leaf

Red raspberry leaf is rich in vitamins and minerals, and has traditionally been used to help tone the uterine muscles. This astringent herb helps restore tone to uterine and pelvic muscles, may curb excessive bleeding, and assist with wound healing.  his herb contains highly bio-available forms of calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, Vitamin C, iron, and B vitamins. Red raspberry leaf can act as an anti-diarrheal, antiemetic, and as a galactagogue. One herbalist notes that, “red raspberry leaf is a wisdom keeper who helps us pick through what we’ve experienced with clear sight, allowing us to let go of what’s not useful so we can preserve our energy rather than allowing it to drain away.”

 

Motherwort

is a traditional postpartum tonic herb to help with feelings of postpartum depression and overwhelm. The effects of the herb are akin to receiving a big hug! Some of its main uses relate to the reproductive system and the heart, where many people feel and hold a great deal of tension and anxiety. Motherwort also provides nervine support, and because it alleviates these nervous feelings, it is used to release the feelings from the physical body as well.  It helps to alleviate the stress that can overwhelm a new mother.

 

Alfalfa leaf

a highly nourishing herb for all body organs with its high level of nutrient content that is readily bioavailable. Alfalfa has a large variety of minerals and rare elements. Silicon, phosphorous, chlorine, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium are just a few of the many minerals present in it. A number of vitamins are present in the herb as well, such as vitamin K, E, and C. The proportion of vitamin K is the highest, which makes it quite beneficial in helping the blood to coagulate and preventing haemorrhage. Mothers who breastfeed have been using the plant to help them support lactation for many decades. Alfalfa contains plant estrogens called phytoestrogens. They can help you increase your milk supply and breast tissue, too.
