After pains tend to increase after second and
subsequent babies. On one hand they're a good thing - it means your uterus is
involuting to protect you from excessive bleeding ... but on the other hand, as
every mother knows, they suck massively and sometimes can feel worse than
labour pains!
So here is a tea of comforting, anti-spasmodic and
analgesic herbs to help you through the roughest afterpains, to help you get on
with the joy of bonding with your new babe and relaxing into motherhood again.
The After Pain-ease tea contains:
Calendula (Calendula officinalis) - this beautiful
herb has been used to reduce menstrual cramps and moderate uterine bleeding and
congestion, and to treat spasmodic dysmenorrhoea.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromatica) - this warming uterine
healer contains pain-relieving eugenol as well as spasmolytic action to reduce
uterine pain and spasm. Warming herbs and teas are used in many cultures to
warm and soothe the mother after giving birth. Cinnamon is also known to help
boost strength and energy and reduce anxiety and stress. It is an ideal
convalescent herb.
Crampbark (Viburnum opulus) - with muscle relaxant and
anti-spasmodic actions, this herb also nourishes and soothes the nervous system
with its nervine and sedative effects. Helpful for menstraul and post-natal
uterine cramps.
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) - this
anti-inflammatory herb is well -known for its anti-allergic effects to treat
hayfever - but it is also an effective emmenagogue, which induces relaxation in
uterine tissues. With analgesic and relaxant properties, it is a uterine bitter
that helps reduce uterine tension, spasm and pain.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) - this warming herb has
been used to treat the pain of spasmodic dymenorrhoea and endometriosis. Ginger
relaxes spasm and relieves pain and is very healing for all female organs. It
is also soothing for stressed nerves.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) - with relaxant,
spasmolytic and mild sedative actions, this is another herb that acts on the
uterus and the nervous system simultaneously - just what you need post-birth!
Lemon Balm has been used traditionally to help with the birth of the placenta,
which points to its usefulness in modulating uterine action.
Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) - this is the
ultimate woman's herb, with big love for the uterus, used through the ages to
support women through the stages of life from menarche to menopause. It is a
uterine astringent, making it useful for strengthening and toning the uterus
and moderating excessive bleeding. It is known to "relax and soothe"
the uterus and has also been used to treat dysmenorrhoea.
Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) - with anti-spasmodic and
hormone-modulating actions, this herb has a special affinity for female
reproductive organs. It is helpful for menstrual spasm and ovarian pain, and
for reducing the intensity of post natal after pains.
The ginger and cinnamon in this blend makes it a
delicious and warming tea to sip on post-natally.
How to Use:
Use a glass or ceramic pot or jug, and avoid metal
implements when making herbal teas. Place about a teaspoon (3-4g) of herbs in
your pot or jug, pour on hot water, cover, and allow to steep for about 10
minutes. You can drink the tea hot, warm or cool. You could also add a twist of
lemon or lime, or a natural sweetener such as aguave or raw honey, if desired.
Store your herbs out of direct sunlight to preserve potency, colour and
flavour.

"Hi Julie, just wanted to let you know the amazing success I've been having with your After Pain-ease Tincture. After my second baby I was in tears with the after pains, something which I was fearful would be repeated this time after my third. But I've had nothing more than a fleeting pain, maybe half a dozen times in 4 days! So I'd like to order 2 more bottles, one for me and one for a friend." So nice to hear! This was a bespoke tincture I made up, containing Crampbark, Wild Yam, Fennel, Hops, Corydalis and Ginger.
