Postnatal Tea
When I was first introduced to the Post-Pregnancy Wellness Kit I was struck by the delicious fragrance that came from the box upon opening. It was warm and comforting. Using the products has been a wonderful, sensual experience. The texture and aroma of each product is simply luxurious, each offering a different benefit and experience. After a long and arduous labor, I found the products supportive and healing.
I’m glad I used this kit. My post-pregnancy body was a bit difficult to manage and connect with. Between the aching, bleeding and leaking and smelling, it was a bit of hard time. It has been great to have this beautiful, nourishing, and pleasant smelling product line to aid my recovery.
Abdominal Wrap: This is one of my favorite products. After months of feeling stretched and expansive it was a relief to feel the gentle pressure around my hips and belly. It was also a help to my posture. After giving birth it was very difficult for me to sit up straight, due to exhaustion, breast weight that i was unaccustomed to or the hunched posture I had taken from nursing I don’t know. The wrap supported my back and ensured I spent more time with a straight spine. I plan to use this when I return to work, as a Massage Therapist, to support my back.
Firming Herbal Blend Paste: I love the warm, tingling sensation that this gave my belly.
Brown Formulation Body Soap: This is a great daily soap. It’s slightly coarse texture felt great against my skin and a month later I still have some waiting for me in the shower.
Calming Herbal Blend Paste: Needless to say, there have been many sleepless nights since the birth of my baby. This product is great on those mornings after the night has been particularly sleepless. When the baby naps, I put this on my forehead and lay down with her. Between the effects of the paste and the joy of napping beside my baby, I wake feeling refreshed and ready to face the demands of motherhood.
Herbal Massage Oil: I use this in the morning for an extra pick me up. Its scent left me feeling warm and invigorated. Both the oils come in abundant quantities and I will be using them for some time to come.
Coconut Oil: I like to use this in the evening before bed. I found that a slow massage with this after a warm shower was just what I needed to help me settle into a quality sleep before waking every couple of hours to tend to my new baby.
Feminine Herbal Wash: I use this in one of the perineum spray bottles given to me by the hospital. The deodorizing effect has been a great help. It also helped with the itching and tightness from my stitches.
Boreh Body Scrub: I love this. The texture is fantastic, gritty and silky at the same time. Between this and the oils my skin is softer, moister and smoother than it has been in months.
Herbal Bath: Unfortunately, I only got to use this once because I had a hard time taking a bath for the first few weeks, due to Post-Partum body realities (lochia) and an unwillingness to take a sponge bath because my apartment tends to be pretty cold most of the time. I emerged from my bath feeling really relaxed and smelling amazing. The tension in my sore back muscles was eased and my mind refreshed.
Lavender Floral Water: This is great for a quick spritz on my chest between diaper changes and feedings. It really helps me with some of the anxiety and fatigue I have been experiencing since the birth of my baby.
Herbal Recovery Tea: This was great to start immediately after giving birth while I was exhausted and overwhelmed (in that wonderful, just gave birth sort of way). This tea made it possible to nourish me while putting in zero effort.
