My favorite tea while breastfeeding
Congratulations on your birth! You managed!
We look forward to welcoming every single new citizen on earth.
Now the time for family reunification begins. You should cuddle a lot, relax and, if possible, breastfeed.
Breastfeeding tea is the tea most consumed during the postpartum period and can be so much more than just good hydration.
But not all breastfeeding tea is the same, as our co-founder and midwife Meike knows that only too well.
While most teas have a manageable list of ingredients that do not necessarily help to increase milk supply or meet the body's diverse needs during the postpartum period, other teas do have a few more effective ingredients in them, but often only in very small doses.
That's why we at myEphelia decided to base our breastfeeding tea on special ingredients that not only promote the flow of milk, but can also contribute to milk production.
Fenugreek is therefore at the top of our list of ingredients and is therefore the main component of the tea.
Because fenugreek is the midwives’ “secret weapon and magic cure” for milk production.
But marjoram, which is also contained in the tea, is also said to have such an effect
These two ingredients are combined with other high-quality ingredients to take into account the special needs of mother and child during breastfeeding and the postpartum period.
Breastfeeding tea should not only be viewed as tea for breastfeeding, but should be drunk throughout the entire postpartum period.
Take a look at the explanations of the ingredients below and see for yourself the positive effects that nature can bring.
Fenugreek:
Fenugreek is not only a well-known spice, it has long been part of traditional herbal medicine in China and India. The ancient Greeks and Romans also valued it as an effective remedy against many illnesses. In this country it has been used medicinally since at least the early Middle Ages. Charlemagne already ordered the cultivation of fenugreek in the monastery gardens.
Midwives recommend fenugreek to promote milk production.
The phytoestrogens contained in fenugreek seeds are generally considered to be responsible for increased milk production. The natural plant hormones stimulate the production of the body's own hormones required for breastfeeding, resulting in a better milk flow.
Fenugreek is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Stimulating milk production
🌿 Help with hair loss
🌿 Lowers blood sugar
🌿 Appetizing
🌿 Anti-inflammatory
🌿 Relieves irritation
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
🌿 Appetizing
🌿 Digestive
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
🌿 Calming
🌿 Pain relieving
🌿 Antispasmodic
🌿 Relief from nausea
Marjoram:
Marjoram is more than just a spice used in hearty cuisine. It is also a valuable medicinal plant with diverse effects. In midwifery work, the herb is often recommended during breastfeeding, as this can also help promote milk production.
Marjoram is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Stimulating milk production
🌿 Maintaining milk production
🌿 Antispasmodic
🌿 Antibacterial
🌿 Toning
🌿 Help with constipation
🌿 Digestive
🌿 Support for insomnia
🌿 Support for headaches and migraines
Anise:
Anise is one of the oldest spice plants in the world; it was already used in ancient times to flavor dishes.
As a medicinal herb, anise is very common in herbal medicine and is used, among other things, for stomach pain, flatulence and coughs. In 2014, anise was even the medicinal plant of the year.
Anise is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Promoting milk flow
🌿 Relief from gastrointestinal complaints
🌿 Relief from heartburn
🌿 Relief from feeling full
🌿 Flatulence reliever
🌿 Relief from nausea and vomiting
fennel
Fennel is also one of the most widely used vegetables, spices and medicinal plants in the world. It was medicinal plant of the year in 2009.
Fennel is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Help with digestive problems
🌿 Promoting milk flow
🌿 Expectorant
🌿 Flatulence reliever
🌿 Support for menstrual problems
Coriander:
Coriander is not just the spice you find on the menu in Asian cuisine. It is also used in a variety of ways in herbal medicine, as essential oils are said to have many soothing effects, especially for stomach and intestinal problems.
Coriander is said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Help with digestive problems
🌿 Lower cholesterol and blood sugar
🌿 Reducing the risk of infection
🌿 Inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi
🌿 Antispasmodic
🌿 Support with detoxification
🌿 Relief from bladder infections
🌿 Relief from menstrual cramps
Caraway seeds:
Caraway is said to have the same or similar effects as anise and fennel, which is why these three herbs harmonize very well.
Caraway seeds are said to have the following positive properties:
🌿 Promoting milk flow
🌿 Promotes digestion
🌿 Help with heartburn
🌿 Help with bloating
🌿 Promotes blood circulation in the stomach and intestinal mucosa
🌿 Flatulence reliever
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.
