The Birth Boost tea contains:

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) – spasmolytic and mild sedative, reduces labour pain and relaxes muscle tension. 

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) – analgesic and relaxant actions, enhances labour contractions, relieves tension in a rigid cervix and so supports dilation.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) – supports circulation to reproductive organs, relaxes spasm and relieves pain.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) – relaxant, anti-spasmodic, relaxes and strengthens the mother during childbirth.

Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) – tones and nourishes the uterine muscle, rich nutritionally.

Schisandra Berries (Schisandra chinensis) - with calming nervine, adaptogenic and oxytocic actions. Enhances physical & mental endurance & performance. Used traditionally to enhance labour contractions during birth, particularly during a long, tiring or protracted labour.

Vervain (Verbena officinalis) - a calming nervine tonic that invigorates uterine contractions and is used during labour "to make childbirth easier" according to herbal lore.

How To Use

Use hot water that is just off the boil to pour over the herbs.

Let the tea steep for about 10 minutes.

Place a lid over the tea while steeping, to minimise loss of the volatile oils.

A natural sweetener such as honey, aguave or stevia may also be added, or a twist of lemon or lime.

The tea can be drunk hot, warm or cold.

Drink freely throughout labour, at any time the need is felt.

The made-up tea may be stored in the refrigerator for approximately 2 days.
