Pregnancy and Childbirth

Pregnancy is a wonderful time for many expecting mums however there may be a few ‘hiccups’ along the way such as morning sickness, cramping or low energy levels. It is especially important to minimize intake of chemicals and toxins during this time so natural remedies are a fantastic ‘first port of call’! Ginger is a time-honoured remedy for nausea & morning sickness; it combines well with B6 which assists with hormone balance.

Raspberry Leaf has been used for centuries to prepare the uterus for childbirth – it has been shown to reduce labour time & assist with birth. Once the little bundle of joy has entered the world herbs such as fennel, blessed thistle & fenugreek can be used in combination with a good diet to improve breast milk production.
