Sitz baths are a highly beneficial remedy in the few weeks following delivery. A specialized blend of herbs including chamomile and plantain leaf, are steeped in hot water overnight and used to sit in (either a bath or sitz bath tub) after birth. The warm mizture is used to heal and alleviate soreness and swelling from perineal tears or swelling. Included are organic herbs in four 2 oz. muslin bags. Each bag contains unrefined sea salt, lavender blossoms, plantain leaf, witch hazel, yarrow, calendula and chamomile.
Herbal Postpartum teas Restoring Balances special blend of loose organic teas assist mothers with tissue repair, mood stabilization and milk production. Postpartum healing, both emotionally and physically, is greatly helped by taking time for oneself with a warm cup of tea that works as your relax.

Have you considered preparing your body and mind for birth with the help of acupuncture? Pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal recovery are viewed in Chinese Medicine as an opportunity to enhance the woman’s well-being. Value is placed on preventative care to strengthen the mother and baby while also dealing with common problems as they occur during pregnancy. Evidence-based research shows us that acupuncture works for creating a harmonious pregnancy and preparation of a positive birthing experience. Acupuncture is considered to be very effective in reducing the incidence and severity of nausea during pregnancy. At 33-35 weeks we offer treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, which follows research that demonstrates a significant effect in turning breech babies. Treatments can also help babies that are not in the optimal position, such as those in a posterior position. Two weeks after giving birth, we recommend acupuncture treatments to help the mother fully recover. Acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine can help the body regain strength and can greatly help with concerns like insufficient lactation, postnatal depression, and urinary incontinence.
Additionally, many women in all stages of life suffer from back pain, rib pain, sciatica and symphysis pubis pain, all of which can all be markedly reduced by acupuncture. Research from Sweden showed that when compared to physiotherapy, acupuncture was the best treatment for sacroiliac and pubic pain conditions.

I can speak from experience that nursing, while beautiful and natural, isn't always easy, and many women need support. I personally benefitted from the advice and help from a Lactation Consultant after my first child, and urge all nursing mothers to consider utilizing their services as well. Why would you need one? Because there is nothing like a specialist to give both prenatal consultations to receive information and discuss concerns about breastfeeding before your child is born, as well as help if problems arise after becoming a nursing mother.

Thai Yoga Therapy is a healing art that combines assisted yoga stretching, acupressure, gentle rocking, rhythmic compression, energy work and meditation. It was designed to reduce stress, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural ability to physically and emotionally balance and heal Itself. Thai Yoga Therapy is performed on a mat on the floor; both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility. Prenatal Thai Yoga Therapy is a wonderful way to relieve aches and pains during pregnancy and can be very beneficial to both mom and baby.
