Postpartum - Mothering the Mother
This blend is designed to support the new mother by cleansing her vaginal pathways, healing any wounds that may have occurred during childbirth, holding her Spirit, and nurturing her womb. It contains plant allies that assist in healing scar tissue and support the womb in returning to its natural position and size.
Motherwort is a beautiful ally for mothers on their journey. As a uterine tonic, it strengthens the uterus and, as a potent emmenagogue, supports circulation (nourishment, life) in the pelvic bowl. Motherwort also fosters a strong connection not only to motherhood but also to our inner child. I find its energy very soothing to my heart, bringing a rainbow of protection. Working with Motherwort postpartum provides nourishment and support while enhancing circulation in the pelvic bowl, aiding the healing of the womb and surrounding tissues.
Red Raspberry Leaf is another uterine tonic that promotes the strength and tone of the uterus. It is anti-inflammatory, oxytocic, and mildly stimulating, making it suitable for use in the later stages of pregnancy. Its astringency helps the uterus return to its original size and position, while its cooling properties soothe any swollen, tender, or inflamed tissue after birth.
Red Clover is a moistening and soothing herb with high nutritive content, deeply connected to the Divine Mother. It is generally used to support healing of a wide range of growth in the female reproductive system (such as fibroids, cysts, and cervical dysplasia) by facilitating the flow of energy, water, and emotions in the body, thus supporting a healthy expression of our emotional states. It supports a healthy expression of our emotional states and harmonizes the female reproductive system after birth.
Nettle, a highly nutritive and detoxifying herb, helps restore the body after childbirth. Yarrow's volatile oils cleanse the vaginal pathways, preventing infections and sealing any wounds that may have occurred. Its affinity for blood (and ancestral memories) also supports homeostasis within the womb and promotes healthy circulation.
Burdock root offers a sense of safety and protection (alongside Yarrow), helping the new mother feel grounded and rooted in herself and the Earth. Calendula, Rose, and Lavender contribute their relaxing aromatherapeutic properties to the steam, supporting nourishment and relaxation.

Direction on Use:
For one steaming session, please add 5 teaspoons of Postpartum blend to 1.2l - 1.5l of boiling water and leave to infuse for 5 - 8 mins before steaming. One jar contains up to 5 steams when used as directed.
Before steaming after childbirth, it is important to wait until you stop bleeding as steaming promotes circulation to your pelvic area. Follow your body's guidance on when and how long to steam - start with shorter sessions and prolong them gradually if you feel the desire so. This blend is designed to support healing of any tearing that might have occured, however, if you have any further questions, ask your health care provider/midwife for further guidance.
