these items are exactly what sits on my nightstand in the days following birth.this is the perfect collection of nurturing postpartum wellness for the mother or birthing parent still integrating the rite of passage after birth, wanting to deeply nourish the body and spirit in this quiet, watery time.

milky oats tincture brings the soothing, comforting energy of oat medicine and is the perfect postpartum tincture for nourishing wellness. milky oats brings grounding, balancing energy in times of intense transition, overwhelm, and exhaustion. it is rich in trace minerals for rebuilding the postpartum body, and of course has an energetic relationship to all things milky, mothering, and tender.

motherwort tincture truly feels like a sister. its botanical name, leonurus cardiaca, means ‘lion heart’ and it feels like the herb of mothers and all women who carry this power and lineage. this plant soothes anxiety, mellows uterine cramps, and creates an energy of sacred protection around the new mother resting in bed.
