My favorite tea for postnatal recovery
The first few weeks after birth, what an exciting and intense time for you!
Life is currently being restructured and you are breaking new ground.
It's nice to strengthen and bring your body back into balance after a big change.
Our specially created and selected tea can support you in many ways to find back to yourself and your body.
The tea contains many ingredients that can stabilize and promote women's well-being, lady's mantle herb, yarrow herb and shepherd's purse in particular are said to have such powers.
So that the tea doesn't just taste like herbal power, we have added the mild, delicious note of rooibos and the freshness of lemon balm. This makes drinking the tea during the recovery period a real pleasure!
We recommend that you drink this tea up to 2 years after giving birth so that your body and your hormonal balance can come back into balance.
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
yarrow herb
Yarrow has been a proven remedy since ancient times. The native plant grows in meadows and pastures in the summer months. Her “herb” in particular is known to help with various illnesses. The herb consists of the dried flowers, stems and flowering shoot tips of the plant. The essential oils counteract inflammation and bacterial growth.
Yarrow is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Support for gastrointestinal problems and bile disorders
🌿 Antispasmodic
🌿 Hemostatic and anti-inflammatory
🌿 Promotes blood circulation
🌿 Stimulate your appetite
🌿 Stimulating the flow of bile
Rooibos:
Rooibos is only grown regionally in the mountains of South Africa, near Cape Town. It is a traditional remedy and is considered the national drink of South Africans.
The leaves and twigs contain a total of 99 essential oils. Its mild taste comes from two flavonoids that sweeten it without sugar.
Rooibos is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Help with sleep disorders
🌿 Lowering cholesterol
🌿 Protection against cardiovascular diseases
🌿 Stress relief
🌿 Strengthening the immune system
🌿 Protection against allergies
🌿 Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
🌿 Strengthens the vessels and can therefore prevent varicose veins
🌿 Strengthens the immune system
🌿 Has a calming and mood-enhancing effect
Nettle leaves:
The nettle is a valuable, often underestimated medicinal plant, a real bacterial brake and nutrient bomb.
The unpleasant effect of the nettle hairs is counteracted by drying the above-ground parts of the plant for making tea. This means that the nettle loses its irritating effect.
Nettle leaves are said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Metabolism stimulating
🌿 Help with liver and bile detoxification
🌿 Pain and inflammation relieving
🌿 Diuretic
🌿 Relief from stomach and menstrual problems
🌿 Lowers blood pressure
🌿 Immune boosting
🌿 Detoxifying
Shepherd's purse herb:
Shepherd's purse is also called heart herb because of its heart-shaped leaves. It is a traditional herbal medicine that is primarily used as a home remedy for bleeding.
Shepherd's purse herb is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Hemostatic
🌿 Blood pressure regulating
🌿 Supporting the regression of the uterus (midwifery experience)
🌿 Regulation of menstruation
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
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.
