Giving birth is an incredible feat of nature. Indeed, in evolutionary terms it what women are here to do; the female form is designed expressly for this purpose, and it can be a wonderful, empowering experience. Herbal medicine has been used for centuries to support birthing women, and Sara will use her experience to can construct a natural birthing kit for you to use during birthing.

Herbal Birthing Kit

Herbal medicine can be safely taken during birthing and can be used, as necessary, to:

  • - Strengthen the longitudinal muscles of the uterus - the ones that will push your baby out - in the 8 weeks of pregnancy
  • - Increase and regulate the force of contractions, in the case of weak, irregular contractions
  • - Calm down over-strong painful contractions – without stopping them
  • - Maintain energy levels
  • - Calm fear
  • - Ease transition – getting ready to push
  • - Help deliver the placenta
  • - Help prevent post-partum haemorrhage
  • - Help dilate the cervix
  • - Relieve after-pains

We’ll need an hour’s appointment to go through each remedy and make sure you and your birth partner are happy with how it works. Of course you’ll get full written instructions and everything will be clearly labelled. I’ll be happy to speak to your midwife or obstetrician where necessary.
