I was lucky enough to meet Valerie in a workshop at my job. Her insight into Eastern Medicine and view of post-partum recovery was eye opening for me. During her session and in her book there were great tips on what to do, how to take care of yourself and potentially help avoid post-partum depression which was my number one goal! Prior to my due date I was on on a mission to find the oils, the wrap, etc that were recommended in the book to ensure I was on the right road to recovery! At that point, I learned about the box that encompassed it all!
The box of relaxation and healing as I like to refer to it as was very neatly packaged, clearly labeled, and very easy to follow! Along with the suggested calendar of when the products should be used, it was very easy, even with no sleep to follow and ensure my postpartum wellness was on the right path. Overall, the kit along with all of the natural products, great benefits, it gave me the excuse I needed for the much needed “ME” time everyday!
Brown Formulation Body Soap: Great exfoliation soap, loved the smooth, clean feel it left me with after using!
Cold Press Virgin Coconut Oil: Loved it!! A great moisturizer for myself and the baby! It did wonders especially for my face where I would not normally think to use an oil! In addition, I use it nightly after bath time to massage my baby, it calms her, keeps her moisturized and it’s all natural (no worries about parabens, etc)
Herbal Massage Oil: In addition to using this after bathing, I used this oil especially around my neck which was stiff from nursing.
Herbal Recovery Tea: Enjoyed drinking this tea during the day, ensuring I was keeping hydrated and helping my body to recovery!
Lavender Floral Water: Great tool to de-stress at nap time, the scent wasn’t too strong to be overwhelming but enough when sprayed on my pillow to create a sense of calm.
Boreh Body Scrub: LOVED this product, and looked forward to the days I got to use it. The instructions say to use 3 tablespoons of water, but i thought it was too watery, I used 3 teaspoons and found that it was the perfect texture. Left me with a warming feeling, relaxed muscles, and lovely smooth skin.
Calming Herbal Blend Paste: Used this when taking a nap, provided a relaxing sensation.
Herbal Bath: Used via sponge bath daily! After use I was ready to conquer the day ahead, very refreshing.
Firming Herbal Blend Paste: Along with the abdominal wrap this helped to firm/tone my tummy!
Feminine Herbal Wash: Used daily via a sitz bath during the first couple of days home, then sponge bath & on demand in a spray bottle. Helped greatly with easing perineum discomfort caused by stitches.
Overall, a great set of products, I would use it again and would highly recommend it to mommies, new and experienced to ensure a successful recovery!
Thanks to Valerie & team for introducing postpartum wellness to myself and to all the other Mommies lucky to find out about these products and bringing the healing practices of the East to the West!
Happy Mommy,
