My favorite tea when preparing for birth
Yikes, where has the time suddenly gone? You are excited, climbing the stairs becomes more and more difficult and the anticipation increases immeasurably. The birth is coming soon, if you want to prepare yourself and your body for it, our organic birth preparation tea is just the thing for you.
Meike, midwife and co-founder of myEphelia, knows the question of birth-preparatory teas only too well. For a long time, pure raspberry leaves were the tea used for this purpose. However, in recent years, further new insights have been gained, which led us to change the recipe.
Through contact and exchange with other midwives and birth centers, it has been shown that many women have overdosed on pure raspberry leaf tea in the past. Women often drank raspberry leaf tea far too much and far too early. With raspberry leaves, the right dosage is important. The motto “a lot helps a lot” does not apply here, but rather “the dose makes the poison”. It has been observed that excessive consumption of raspberry leaf tea can apparently have a counterproductive effect on childbirth and maternal injuries. Raspberry leaves make the tissue soft - unfortunately too soft if consumed excessively.
We therefore recommend that you only ever drink raspberry leaves as part of a tea mixture. That's why you get oursFavorite tea to prepare for birthonly as a perfectly coordinated herbal mixture of raspberry leaves in combination with lady's mantle herb, lemon balm leaves, rose petals, marigold petals and other wonderful women's herbs.
This combination is a tried-and-tested midwife's recipe of various women's herbs, all of which have a great effect when preparing for birth.
And by the way, this mixture also tastes much better than pure raspberry leaf tea 😉
Raspberry leaves
Raspberry leaf tea, as the name suggests, is made from the dried leaves of the raspberry plant.
This tea contains plenty of vitamins and minerals (e.g. vitamins B and C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and iron), and its diverse effects mean it has a place in gynecology, among other things.
Raspberry leaf tea is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Loosening of the cervix
🌿 Loosening of the perineal tissue
🌿 Strengthening the uterine muscles
🌿 Labor stimulating
🌿 Shortening labor time
🌿 Builds up the uterine mucosa
🌿 Antispasmodic
🌿 Relief from diarrhea
🌿 Relief from nausea
🌿 Help with menstrual cramps
Please note that there are no scientific studies for one or the other effect, but years of observation, particularly in work with pregnant women and women who have recently given birth, show these effects.
Lady's mantle herb
As the name suggests, lady's mantle is the herb for women. The name comes from the fact that the leaves resemble a woman's flowing coat. It has been used as a medicinal plant since the Middle Ages, primarily for women's ailments. Lady's mantle is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Positive influence on cycle regulation in the female hormonal balance
🌿Help build and care for the uterine lining
🌿Pelvic floor strengthening
🌿Promoting the healing process
🌿Help with menstrual cramps
🌿 Help with premenstrual mood swings
🌿 Support for fertility problems
🌿 Support for additional bleeding and menopausal symptoms
Melissa leaves:
On the one hand, lemon balm leaves bring a pleasant taste to the tea, and on the other hand, lemon balm leaves are also said to have a number of positive effects. Lemon balm essential oil in particular contains a complex mixture of healing ingredients. Melissa leaves are said to have the following positive properties:
🌿Calming the nerves
🌿 Relief from nervousness
🌿 Releasing tension conditions
🌿 Relieves cramps and flatulence
🌿 Promotes digestive juices and saliva flow
🌿 Mucous membrane protection
🌿 Anti-inflammatory
Lemongrass:
This plant is considered and highly valued as a medicinal plant in many Asian countries. Lemongrass not only has a wonderfully lemony, fresh taste, but according to my personal experience as a midwife it can also help with nausea. Lemongrass is also said to have a balancing effect on the human psyche. Lemongrass is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿Antibacterial
🌿Antifungal
🌿Anti-inflammatory
🌿Antioxidant
🌿Balancing cholesterol and blood sugar
🌿Reassuring
🌿Pain relieving
🌿Antispasmodic
🌿Relief from nausea
Peppermint leaves:
Peppermint was already used as a medicinal plant in the Middle Ages and all of our grandparents liked to make us peppermint tea when we had stomach or cold symptoms. However, peppermint is not only good for drinking, but also finds its raison d'être in the kitchen. Peppermint is rich in essential oils and has a slightly spicy and refreshing taste. Peppermint leaves are said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Anti-inflammatory
🌿 Calming
🌿 Cooling
🌿 Antibacterial effect
🌿 Antiviral effect
🌿 Digestive stimulating
🌿 Antispasmodic
Rose petals:
Rose petals not only look beautiful and smell wonderful, they are also very sweet in taste and, above all, these wonderful flowers also have healing effects, which are also reflected in studies.
Rose petals are said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Mood-enhancing
🌿 Anti-inflammatory
🌿 Antispasmodic
🌿 Antibacterial
🌿 Pain relieving
🌿 Support for cell renewal
Marigold flowers:
Calendula supports wound healing both internally and externally. Most people probably remember her from grandma's marigold ointment. Even today it is still used in many areas. Nowadays it is more commonly known as Calendula.
Due to its antioxidant properties, marigold is probably one of the best-known medicinal plants worldwide, which is why it is an integral part of all of our teas.
Marigold flowers are said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Support cell renewal
🌿 Wound healing
🌿 Help with menstrual cramps
🌿 Promotes the stomach and intestinal tract
🌿 Anti-inflammatory
🌿 Antioxidant
