Postpartum Herbal Packages
Chinese medicine offers many ways to support postpartum recovery, focusing on restoring balance and promoting overall well-being. Here are some of the ways it can help:
Postpartum Healing and Recovery: Childbirth is considered to deplete a woman’s qi and blood, and herbal formulas are great for restoring these vital substances.
Postpartum Depression & Emotional Well-being: Chinese medicine recognizes the importance of emotional health in postpartum recovery, and herbal formulas can help regulate emotions and reduce stress and anxiety.
Insufficient Milk Supply: Many women struggle with lactation and insufficient milk supply, and Chinese herbal formulas can help you build a healthy supply. You can read our case study about lactation on our blog here.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Chinese herbal medicine can help with pelvic floor rehabilitation, as well as urinary and bowel issues

Huang Qi (Astragalus Root): Huang Qi is known for its immune-boosting properties and is used to strengthen Qi and support recovery from fatigue and weakness after childbirth.

It's important to note that the use of Chinese herbal medicine should be guided by a qualified practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), who can tailor formulas to individual needs and ensure safe and effective treatment, especially during the delicate postpartum period. Integrating Chinese herbal medicine with proper nutrition, rest, and support can significantly aid in the recovery process after childbirth.
