Did you ever wonder when your baby becomes aware? Or if a baby is aware at all? Or how the quality of your pregnancy and birth would affect your baby? Do babies remember and learn from experience? Well, research now shows there is a mind at work in your baby, and it starts working long before birth. This is big news for scientists but moms and dads probably knew it all along.
There are several herbs that work well to increase milk production. You may be wondering which one is best for you! Here is a brief summary - there is MUCH more information under Articles & Information and a more detailed and comprehensive one in the Premium Article section. Here is a brief summary though:
Booty Salve
Price
$12.50
An herbal salve used to soothe painful hemorrhoids.
In the late 1920's, Dr. Edward Bach, a renowned British scientist and physician, observed that his patients' healing and well-being were directly influenced by their state of mind and emotional health. He noticed that the personality, attitude and present outlook of a patient had a great deal to do with their being cured or remaining sick. He understood that "the personality of the individual is of even more importance than the body in the treatment of disease". He realized that, instead of treating the patient as a body with an illness, the patient needed to be treated like an individual. "Treat the patient, not the disease."
Herb Lore’s Hem Stopper Tincture is used to help staunch bleeding after a birth. It’s best used immediately after the birth (and after the birth of the placenta), and as long as the bleeding or risk of bleeding continues. If the placenta has not been birthed yet and is the cause for bleeding, the Placenta Release Tincture is then recommended.
I remember the last several weeks of my pregnancy. They seemed to take FOREVER! I was carrying a 9-1/2 pound baby and was SO incredibly uncomfortable! Any fear of labor was gone - I just wanted this baby OUT. As hard as it is to wait though, it is so worth it.
Contains herbs to help initiate labor, to re-start a stalled labor, to detach a retained placenta, to stop postpartum bleeding and to help with an incomplete miscarriage.
Lobelia Tincture
Price
$13.50
Lobelia is recommended for rigid cervix, cervical lip, or cervical rim during the late stages of active labor.
As I was writing my blog about herbs for increasing breastmilk production, I felt guided to address how normal, natural and common it is for women to feel very emotional and feel the need to cry after they've given birth, or at any time postpartum. It became clear that it needed to be a blog post all of its own.
Herb Lore's Postpartum Sitz Bath Herbs is an herbal combination used after birth to help soothe and heal the mother's perineal/vaginal area (even in severe cases), as well as to help heal baby's umbilical cord stump. The sitz bath combination contains the following herbs:
In this Premium Article, learn what herbs will help maximize and enhance your fertility, and what common factor exists for women who are having problems with conception, and herbs that will help. It contains a list of supplements and herbs that are recommended to support your health and your baby's health, giving him or her the best start possible. (This includes recommendations for supplements known to help prevent birth defects in the growing embryo and ones that should be taken PRIOR to conception.
Herb Lore's Pregnancy Tea and Pregnancy Tea Plus are healthful and refreshing herbal combinations that are supportive and toning to the entire system before, during and after pregnancy. The regular Pregnancy Tea may be used throughout the entire pregnancy, and because of its high vitamin and mineral content, achieves its best results when used on a long-term, daily basis. Pregnancy Tea Plus is similar to Pregnancy Tea, with the addition of Partridge Berry, a late-pregnancy tonic which further helps to strengthen and nourish the uterus, preparing it for the upcoming work of labor and birth. Because this herb has some very slight oxytocic properties to it (meaning it has the potential to start uterine contractions, although it's not likely), it's recommended for use during the last six weeks of pregnancy only. (The regular Pregnancy Tea may be taken throughout the entire pregnancy however.)
A pregnant mother's best friend! It is highly nutritive and has a special affinity for the uterus, helping to tone, strengthen and bring over-all health and vitality to the uterus.

Everyone should be taking Calcium/Magnesium supplements, especially pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as menopausal women and children. In pregnant and breastfeeding women, the body will rob from itself to provide enough of these nutrients for the growing baby. This is why many women come out of pregnancy and breastfeeding with teeth problems and thinning bones, muscle cramps and backaches.
