Peaceful Postpartum Kit

Serene and citrusy Organic Peaceful Mama Tea is formulated with chamomile and herbs traditionally used to help promote a sense of calm, relieve occasional anxiousness, ease tension and promote sleep.

Avoid postpartum hair thinning and postpartum hair loss by applying herbalized oils to the head and massaging into the scalp.  This traditional Ayurvedic practice has been used for hundreds of years to maintain a thick, lustrous head of hair.  Gently massaging the head stimulates the hair follicles and allows the deeply nourishing herbs and oils to penetrate the scalp, strengthening and thickening the hair at its roots.

Healthy Vata is a rejuvenating blend of herbs formulated specifically to balance vata dosha without aggravating pitta or kapha.  In postpartum, we want to focus on keeping the new mother's body warm and moist and quelling vata dosha.  It is said where the baby once was in the womb now resides an open space, or void.  This area in the new postpartum body now has the property of vata (air, dry, cold, irregular, expansive, ether/spaciousness).  Wearing socks, sweaters, blankets, and eating and drinking only warm and moist foods like teas, tonics, and soups can quell vata dosha.  As vata is the factor responsible for the functioning of the nervous system, an imbalance can cause emotional and mental blocks and nervous system issues like anxiety and stress.  By pacifying aggravated vata dosha after childbirth, nourishment can be brought to the nerve cells to rejuvenate them.  Moreover by avoiding excess vata, we can speed healing and recovery from childbirth.

The National Academy of Sciences recommends that breastfeeding women consume 1,000 mg (milligrams) of calcium each day.  Banyan Botanicals' Eco-Safe Healthy Bones brings you the benefits of natural coral calcium with the added fortification of powerful Ayurvedic herbs traditionally used to strengthen and rejuvenate the bones.  Coral calcium is unique because it contains a molecular structure and mineral complex similar to that found in actual human bone, improving the bioavailability of the calcium.

Spread it on your lactation muffins!  Banyan Botanicals' Organic Chyavanprash is based on a traditional Ayurvedic herbal jam recipe made in a base of amalaki fruit, a natural source of antioxidants.  This excellent rejuvenative nourishes and strengthens the body, providing energy and vitality.  In postpartum, chyavanprash can quell anemia, help with blood circulation, and prevent hair loss and hair thinning.  Due to its abundance in antioxidants, chyavanprash is wonderful for a new mother to consumer after childbirth and throughout her postpartum period.  Ghee aids in weightloss and assimilating vitamins and minerals deeper into the tissues for healing.  Ayurvedic grandmothers recommend new mothers to consume 30 lbs of ghee within the first 3 months postpartum!

Take care “down there” with herbal compresses filled with organic herbs traditionally used to soothe and comfort “down there” during pregnancy or after childbirth. Packed in easy-to-use, individual herbal sachets, each one is perfect for one use. The compresses can be cooled and gently “tucked” to help ease those pretty places, or use the brewed infusion to make postpartum padsicles or use as a sitz bath. Which is kind of like making tea for your nethers. Which is a totally lovely and perfectly polite thing to do.

Earth Mama's Organic Perineal Balm is made with organic herbs and oils the way herbalists make it, with an exclusive blend of organic witch hazel, lavender, peppermint and other like-minded botanicals traditionally used to soothe, cool and provide relief “down there” before and after childbirth.
