Something I would bring for every new mama when it comes to postpartum recovery 💕
🌿 Herbal Teas + Warming Electrolytes – Think nettle, raspberry leaf, ginger, fenugreek… replenishing your minerals and keeping your digestion kindled. Sip slowly, often. This is medicine.
🔥 Heat for the Belly + Perineum (and Wool Socks, Always) – Belly wraps, warm compresses, rice packs, electric heat pad… It soothes, seals, and brings everything back home. Wool socks keep the heat from escaping your feet because warmth from the ground up is everything in postpartum.
👐 Body Work – Gentle massage, abhyanga with warm oil, closing of the bones, herbal foot soak and massage... These rituals aren’t luxuries they’re medicine for your nervous system, your womb, your whole being. Healing is as much energetic as it is physical.
🥣 Warming, Nourishing Meals + Easy Handhelds – Think spiced soups, stewed fruits, soft proteins, and grounding grains. Keep snacks in reach, eat often, and eat warm. Cold food dampens digestion in this sacred window.
🛁 Herbal Sitz Bath + Peribottle – For the sacred portal. Soothing herbs like calendula, comfrey, and lavender ease swelling, promote healing, and remind you to slow down. Healing water is a blessing.
🛏️ Rest + Support System – The hardest one to receive but the most necessary. Your only job is to rest, bond, and be nourished. Let others hold you. Let them cook, clean, carry, and care. This is your time to be held.
✨ Postpartum isn’t about “bouncing back.”
It’s about nesting in.
Gather your village, prep your basket, and remember—you deserve softness too.
Tag a mama who needs this, or save for your own sacred postpartum prep. 💛
