Postpartum Tea
This gentle herbal blend is designed to support uterine recovery, balance postpartum mood shifts, boost immune health, and ease digestion after childbirth.
Uterine & Muscular Recovery
Raspberry Leaf: Acts as a uterine tonic rich in fragarine, an alkaloid that helps tone and tighten pelvic muscles and uterine tissue as the uterus shrinks back to size (involution). It also provides vital minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium lost during delivery.
Immune Support & Tissue Repair
Rosehip: Packed with high concentrations of Vitamin C and antioxidants. Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis (helping heal perineal tears or C-section incisions), enhancing iron absorption to counter postpartum anemia, and boosting immune function.
Rose: Adds mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties that calm systemic inflammation and promote tissue healing while imparting a gentle, uplifting floral aroma.
Nervous System & Mood Balance
Lemon Balm: A nerve-soothing herb containing rosmarinic acid that helps alleviate "baby blues," anxiety, and restfulness. It eases tension without causing deep drowsiness, making it ideal for managing postpartum stress.
Chamomile: Rich in the antioxidant apigenin, which binds to brain receptors to reduce insomnia, calm irritability, and soothe somatic tension.
Digestive & Lactation Relief
Chamomile & Lemon Balm (Combined): Function as carminative herbs that ease gas, bloating, and digestive cramping—common issues post-delivery due to fluctuating progesterone levels and sluggish bowel motility. These anti-spasmodic effects can also help soothe mild afterpains during breastfeeding, when oxytocin triggers uterine contractions.
(Note: Always check with your midwife, IBCLC, or doctor before adding new herbal remedies, especially while nursing.)
