Birthcraft week 1 & 2 have already been filling my heart with so much joy ✨

Last week we called upon the element of fire whilst rolling beeswax candles to burn upon the birth altar during labour. Uniting each woman as she journeys through the the depths of her portal, guided and connected by the same honeyed flame which will also be guiding her sisters journeys. Purifying and filling the birth space with their lush glow 🕯🍯🐝

Today we wove baskets to hold, bury and honour the placenta, weaving in stories of our ancestral births and allowing the rhythmic flow of hands and words to build our collective oxytocin. I’ve found that weaving can sometimes ignite a trancelike state; it is an opportunity to integrate, to dream and to visualise your ideal birth and weave these intentions into the basket.

In the weeks to come we will be infusing herbal oils & balms, belly dancing, belly binding, and travelling an odyssey of the underrealm on a drum journey to meet protectors and power in preparation for labour.

Witnessing our blossoming mamas connecting in sisterhood is a potent reminder of the importance of likeminded community and support throughout the birth continuum.
A space to share, to be held, to connect; in ritual and in vulnerability, in deep reverence and in power. Grateful to our circle of mamas for showing up on the journey ❤️

🌘 TCM Method Capsules •

The placenta has been used as a TCM herb for generations, and is known as Zi He Chi. It is said to nourish and enhance the blood and Chi of the body, which is beneficial to breastmilk production and post-birth healing.

For TCM method placenta preparation, the placenta is steamed and infused with lemon, ginger and chilli before being dehydrated. This infusion is believed to restore warmth to your post-birth body, assist recovery, promote grounding and support your immune system as you heal after birth. The calming effects of this remedy may also support postpartum mood. 💗

Select either the traditional lemon ginger & chilli infusion, or from our collection of herbal infusion options 🌿

🌘 Tree of Life • just as the roots of a tree draw nutrients from Mother Earth to oxygenate the atmosphere, so too does the placenta provide nutrients and oxygen from mama to baby 💛

This sacred life sustaining organ when viewed from the foetal side replicates the sacred tree of life symbol. The symbol represents interconnectedness, fertility, connection to ancestors, growth, strength, individuality, peace and rebirth ✨ all things also cultivated by the placenta in the womb 🙏

🌘 Ayurvedic Channels of Lactation •
Sthanyavaha Srotas ~ the channels which lactation flows.
Srotas are the channels for energy and life force to flow through the body. Sthanyavaha Srota governs the flow of breastmilk, and healthy Sthanyavaha Srotas will help to create a healthy breastfeeding journey ✨

Support Sthanyavaha Srotas with lots of hydration from warm teas, healthy nutrition from eating lots of good food, lots of rest and herbal support. Relaxation, release and surrender helps milk to let down, so practicing gentle pranayama whilst breastfeeding can also help.

~ troubleshooting some ailments of Sthanyavaha Srotas ~

🐚 low milk supply • said in Ayurveda to be caused by Rasa Kshaya (deficiency in life-force fluids). Balance by increasing Kapha qualities with wetness and heaviness - and reducing Vata with warmth and steadiness. Think warm teas, good oils, creamy tonics, and gentle spices. Placenta capsules are also considered a warming remedy to support lactation supply. You can also meditate on Svadhisthana/Sacral Chakra which governs the water element.

🐚 clogged ducts • said in Ayurveda to be caused by blocked Srotas and built up kapha. Balance by reducing Kapha qualities, minimise sweet foods and bring warmth and movement to the Srotas through gentle lymphatic breast massage.

Seek the support of a lactation consultant if any symptoms persist 🙏

🌘 Ceremonial Placenta Dust • birthed from the sacred traditions of ancient cultures around the world - burying, offering, thanking, and paying respects to the placenta through ritual.

For ceremonial dust, a small amount of your placenta is dedicated to the ceremonial farewell of the organ of nourishment. It is powdered and combined with native floral seeds of your choice - to be buried, scattered and offered back to the earth in reverence. Watch the flowers grow alongside your baby 🌻

Return your placenta to the earth with ritual, by acknowledging its spiritual significance and thanking the spirit of the placenta for helping to nourish your baby to earth 🦋

🌘 A h i m s a • did you know that placenta remedies are suitable for vegans?

Ahimsa is one of the eight limbs of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, and means Non-Violence. The placenta is the only ‘meat’ in existence that comes from birth rather than death, and is attained through love rather than violence, making all placenta remedies Ahimsa 💛
