Motherwort

















Motherwort is a well-rounded herb that is essential postpartum. Motherwort's nickname is "the St. John's wort for mothers." It is effective in reducing anxiety, preventing postpartum depression, easing insomnia, preventing postpartum hemorrhage and encourages milk flow. We include this herb in our Postpartum tea blend and highly recommend it for a quick recovery from birth.

Nettles

Nettle tea is so soothing for seasonal allergies. When a jar of nettle is opened, the aroma inhaled is reminiscent of kelp. Surprisingly, after the herb is brewed, the tea tastes creamy almost like milk. Lately I've been making blends with nettle and red raspberry leaf, red clover or peppermint. It even goes well with rooibos or chai.
Nettle is also helpful for asthma, bronchitis, hair, PMS, urinary issues, arthritis, anemia and blood pressure (to name a few.)
