Curious to make your own Herbal Blend for a new mom in your life?

All it takes is a trip to your local health food store or herbal dispensary.
This one has an add-on organic garlic bulb that will be blended with water, strained & added to the bath.

Creating blends like this gives me a way to offer support & care for new mamas in my life.

And you can too!
1 part each of:
Calendula
Comfrey
Lavender
Rosemary
Yarrow
1/2 part
Myrrh

Bring water to a boil, add herbs & let it steep covered for 30min. Strain & add to bath.

Enjoy a relaxing & healing bath!

Post-Partum Pearl - Utilizing the benefits of herbs in this anti-inflammatory, astringent (tightening), antimicrobial blend to speed up the recovery of a sore and delicate area of a mother post vaginal birth. Use the bath for episiotomy tears, perineal trauma, hemorrhoids or just to relax & heal. Im preparing this blend in mamas home after baby no.2 to help her relax & heal. I put in about 1oz each of: calendula (marigold), lavender, rosemary, yarrow per batch. Boiled these herbs covered for 30min, strained and put them in a bath. I then blended 6 peeled garlic cloves with one cup of water in a blender on high. Once a milky liquid appeared I strained the garlic water and added the one cup to the bath along with 1 cup of sea salt. Additional herbs can be utilized such as *comfrey, myrrh, goldenseal. *Speak to your local Naturopathic Doctor before utilizing comfrey or for more individualized information for your own post-partum experience. Do not use garlic in a squeeze bottle or as a compress, only for bath. Moms who are post caesarean should not use this, but can speak to an ND for personalized treatments. Happy healing!

Pregnancy & herbs A blending of my worlds: BASK & Naturopathic Medicine When I'm not creating natural body care products, I'm working with patients, such as moms-to-be, as a Naturopathic Doctor. Excited about this Naturopathic 'Everything you need to get through ' care package + that I prepared for a special mom-to-be in my life.
It's full of my favourite , to get her through a healthy pregnancy. Came complete with easy to read info cards about what she can expect during different stages of pregnancy. Because being informed is part of caring for you & your growing babe NDs can provide a wealth of information, so don't be afraid to contact your local ND to find out how they can help. Stay tuned this month for some !

We're heading overseas!

So excited about these custom order Organic Rosehip Seed & Argan Oil Face serums and Nourishing Eye Creams packed with jasmine, sandalwood, frankincense (to name a few) essential oils.

We hope our friends across the Atlantic enjoy them as much as we do!

Its hairy, broad, green, light purple & grows really fast...

It's comfrey! Otherwise known as Symphytum officinale.
It's anti-inflammatory & healing properties are amazing for your skin! When used externally, it supports and speeds up wound healing by stimulating cell proliferation & helps foster proper scar formation.

It's so powerful that you need to be cautious when using it on deep wounds, as it can cause tissue to form over the wound before the deep tissue has a chance to heal. Its uses go beyond healing the skin! Painful sore throats and damaged stomachs can also find great benefit from this wonderful herb.
