Alone or together with the Post Natal Bliss healing bath herbs, this tea is a way to offer love and care to a new mother, and gently remind her to take good care of herself. The Babymoon Bliss tea is an ideal tea for the postpartum healing period, with richly nutritious tonic herbs, gentle sedatives to calm and nourish the nervous system and help the mother rest and recover her strength, and herbs to balance the hormones and ensure a plentiful milk supply.
How to Use
2-3 grams of herbs, about a teaspoonful, makes a perfect cup of tea. Add water that has just come to the boil and use non-metallic implements. Let the tea steep for about 10 minutes. Serve warm to the mother, perhaps with a twist of lime or lemon or a dab of natural honey if she desires.
The Babymoon Bliss tea contains:
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) - one of Nature's most nutritious herbs, it also balances the hormones, and helps the mother to revive her strength.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) - this warming, comforting herb gently stimulates the uterus to heal and soothes away anxiety and stress
Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) - a uterine tonic which staunches bleeding, heals the placental site, relieves afterpains and has mild pain-relieving properties. It also balances the hormones.
Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) - a uterine tonic which relieves postpartum cramping and afterpains and also has soothing effects to alleviate anxiety.
Nettle (Urtica dioica) - the perfect post-natal herb, richly nutritious and a wonderful general tonic, especially after heavy blood loss. Excellent for a new mother who is feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) - a richly nutritious herb which tones the uterus muscle and promotes healing and balance
Skullcap (Scutellaria laterifolia) - has gentle sedative properties which nourish the nervous system. Helpful when a new mother has a lot on her mind and may be overstimulated and 'wired', perhaps so tired that she can't 'wind down'. This will help her calm down and find her centre, and be able to sleep.
Vervain (Verbena officinalis) - truly a mother's friend, this nervine nourishes the nervous system. Along with Skullcap it is ideal for soothing away any 'baby blues' and supporting rest and calm. It also encourages a plentiful milk supply.
A perfect gift for the new mother, along with the Post Natal Bliss healing bath herbs and the Soothing Salve.
