Herbal Calm For A New Mom

Mel Mutterspaugh

Key Takeaways:

  • Using herbs can be a sustainable, affordable, and accessible way to support health, reducing reliance on pharmaceuticals when appropriate.
  • Nourishing herbs like nettles (rich in iron and vitamins) and red raspberry leaf (supports uterine health) are especially beneficial for pregnancy and postpartum.
  • Nervine herbs can help manage stress and support the nervous system:

    • Milky oats restore the nervous system and support milk supply.
    • Chamomile calms both mother and baby, aids digestion, and soothes colicky infants.
    • Passionflower helps with sleep without grogginess.
  • Herbal remedies are a great way to support postpartum recovery, stress management, and sleep, making them valuable tools for mothers.

  • Kitchen herbs like garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and cinnamon have powerful medicinal benefits and can be used daily for immune and digestive support.

  • Plantain, a common weed, has multiple uses for bug bites, diaper rash, gut healing, and even sore throats.

  • Herbal medicine can be introduced through teas, infusions, tinctures, and topical applications, and even small steps like using loose-leaf herbal teas can create a healing ritual.

  • Sourcing high-quality herbs is essential—small farms and trusted suppliers provide fresher, more potent plants than mass-market options.
