Postpartum Essentials Kit with Gift Box

Fourth Trimester Herbal Support

When "Bounce Back" Culture Ignores Your Body's Real Recovery Needs

Exhausted from after-birth contractions that rival labor pains, emotional swings that leave you sobbing over diaper commercials, and breastfeeding challenges no one warned you about—all while everyone asks about the baby but not how YOU'RE healing?

You survived nine months of pregnancy and the marathon of birth, only to discover the "fourth trimester" brings its own intense challenges that somehow feel like afterthoughts in your care. Maybe you're white-knuckling through after-pains that are worse with each baby, struggling with milk supply while Instagram moms seem to overflow effortlessly, or dealing with clogged ducts that make nursing excruciating. The six-week checkup feels impossibly far away, and the only solutions offered are "this is normal" or medications you're hesitant to take while breastfeeding.

New mothers navigating postpartum recovery shouldn't have to choose between suffering through "normal" discomforts and taking pharmaceuticals that concern them while nursing.

This Postpartum Recovery Kit provides what midwives and herbalists have traditionally used to support mothers through the fourth trimester—four targeted formulas addressing the most common postpartum challenges with herbs safely used by nursing mothers for generations.

Four Formulas for Your Fourth Trimester

This kit honors the sacred postpartum period with herbal wisdom that traditional practitioners have relied on to support mothers' recovery and thriving.

1. AfterEase - For After-Birth Contractions

✅ Cramp Bark & Black Haw: What herbalists call "uterine antispasmodics"—traditionally used to ease the cramping that intensifies with each baby

✅ Motherwort: Named for its traditional use in mothering support, practitioners believe it calms both physical and emotional tension

✅ Yarrow: Traditional midwifery herb associated with supporting healthy uterine tone and recovery

2. Postpartum Emotional Baby Blues - For Hormonal Mood Support

✅ St. John's Wort: Traditional mood support that practitioners believe helps without sedation (check with provider about interactions)

✅ Passionflower: What herbalists associate with calming anxiety without drowsiness—safe for nursing mothers

✅ Black Cohosh & Damiana: Traditional hormone-balancing herbs that practitioners believe help stabilize postpartum swings

✅ Dandelion Root: Nutritive support that traditional use connects to liver health—important for processing hormones

3. Milk Rich - For Abundant Milk Supply

✅ Goat's Rue: Traditional galactagogue (milk-promoting herb) especially valued for what practitioners believe helps build mammary tissue

✅ Fenugreek & Blessed Thistle: Time-honored combination that lactation consultants often recommend for increasing supply

✅ Fennel Seed: Traditional use associates with both milk production and easing baby's gas through breast milk
