In episode 18 we're discussing my favorite top 4 herbal picks for postpartum period.  I realize this topic is HUGE and I promise that there will be more shows on the topic. The idea here is to promote recovery for vaginal and c-section deliveries, keeping the body warm and helping mother recover and replenishing her body after all of that hard work! 

1. Sitz bath - my favorite herbal blend 
2. Mother warming with moxa
3. Motherwort
4. Sheng Hua Tang - Generation and Transformation Decoction

Please note: The herbs are not replacement for proper medical attention and care, so if you feel that something is "off" please check with your primary care provider and follow up.

In episode 17 we're talking about the importance of community in Motherhood with owner of the Fit4Mom Metro-Phoenix Franchise, Kristy Clay.
