Benefits of the Herbs:

Nettle: Urtica Dioica
Nettle is a versatile herb known for its comprehensive support of the body. It is effective against pollen allergies and hay fever, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it offers relief from conditions like migraines, arthritis, and lupus pain. Rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, silica, and potassium, Nettle is highly nutritive and aids in detoxification while preventing bladder infections. During pregnancy, it strengthens the kidneys and adrenals, crucial for overall health. Its calcium content helps alleviate muscle pain, while Vitamin K supports postpartum recovery by reducing bleeding. Nettle also plays a role in preventing hemorrhoids and varicose veins, and it maintains normal blood pressure by strengthening blood vessels and arterial elasticity. Postpartum, Nettle supports lactation and provides nutrient-dense milk for the baby, making it a valuable ally throughout the motherhood journey.

Oatstraw: Avena Sativa

Its tonic and relaxant properties on the uterus' smooth muscle help alleviate the pain of contractions during childbirth, making them more efficient and potentially shortening labor duration.

Note: Red Raspberry Leaf should be avoided in early pregnancy due to concerns about potential miscarriage. It is recommended to discontinue the use of Red Raspberry Leaf until after 16 weeks of pregnancy.
