Midwife's Postpartum Tea

To be enjoyed immediately after birth.

This pre-birth ritual has been a tradition in Christina’s midwifery practice for over 8 years. When labor begins, we start a big pot of postpartum tea. It smells so good and is a wonderful grounding practice. It’s such a lovely experience to give mama a warm nourishing cup of tea right after she births. This tea is also useful to help release placenta easily and to reduce bleeding, the cinnamon has a warming quality to increase circulation, improve digestion and restore energy. You can add a generous dose of honey to the cup, as the honey helps raise mama’s blood sugar and give her a perfect little energy boost.

This tea is also useful for a mama when she gets home from her birth center or hospital birth.
