What others have to say….I love Flourish Mums and bubs Postnatal Restorative tea. I’ve drunk this tea since immediately after I gave birth up until now, six months postpartum and still breastfeeding strongly. When I feel my milk is low I start drinking the tea again. I notice after drinking a couple of cups my body is stimulated to produce more milk bringing me back in balance. Now my baby is 6 months old I’m going to start the “milky Way” Breastfeeding tea . Postnatal Restorative is delicious hot or chilled.

I highly recommend drinking this tea if you’re a breastfeeding mum and recovering from birth.

I received a small pack of Postnatal Restorative Tea in a gift pack from friends. I began using the tea after the birth of my baby and not only does it taste great, it really helps with my milk supply. I've ordered a big pack this time and received a free sample of the Milky Way Breastfeeding Tea which I will definitely go on to next after my postpartum recovery period. What a great small business to support!

About these organic ingredients

This tea contains a number of galactagogue herbs that support a balanced supply of breastmilk. Fennel, a well known galactagogue is drunk as a tea to help ease colic.

If you’re happy with your milk supply, drink 2 cups per day. If you’re needing to increase your supply we suggest you drink our “Milky Way” Breastfeeding tea 2 x per day as well as Postnatal Restorative 2 x per day. If you have an oversupply of milk no more than one cup per day.

Red Raspberry, Nettle and leaves….This duo of herbs has been used for centuries supporting women in their recovery after birth. Raspberry leaf is well known as an after birth herbal supplement supporting the recovery of the pelvic floor and uterus. A wonderful herb to support breastmilk supply.

Alfalfa Leaf….Breastfeeding mothers have been using alfalfa leaf to support lactation for a long time. It contains phytoestrogens or plant-components that resemble estrogen and can attach to their receptors, and is anecdotally thought to increase milk supply.

Gotu Kola… An Ayurvedic herb used to discourage nervous exhaustion whilst promoting mental clarity. A connective tissue tonic that helps restore tone to the ligaments and uterine tissues. As a circulatory tonic Gotu Kola has been known to help in the healing of varicose veins and haemorrhoids.

Shatavari… This herb is renowned in Ayurveda for its affinity with the female reproductive system and hormone balance at any stage of life. Believed to stimulate breastfeeding hormones which supports a healthy balanced milk supply. Thought to reduce stress and fight depression whilst encouraging healthy energy levels.

Fennel… This fantastic little seed is a well known galactagogue and has been used for centuries. Drinking fennel seed tea can also help relieve colic in babies.

Spearmint… There’s just a touch of spearmint in this tea to help hide some of the more medicinal herbal flavours. Spearmint is a wonderful herb to help relieve unwanted gas.

Lavender… A beautiful aromatic flower that’s been used for centuries in herbal medicine. Well known for its ability to encourage a relaxed state of being, discouraging anxiety and supporting a deeper sleep.

Rose… Soothes our emotional body during our recovery from birth.

How to Brew Your Tea?

I personally like my tea strong in flavour, I use 1 generous teaspoon of herbs per cup and allow it to brew for a good 10 minutes. For those who like a gentle flavoured tea, brew only 5 minutes. You can brew your tea herbs twice as the majority of the herbs in my teas are Australian grown which provides a far superior herbal tea which is why the tea is still delicious on the second brew.

The longer brewing time allows the herbs to release their full flavour and beneficial value. For the most therapeutic benefit brew your tea over night which allows 8 hours for the herbs to release all their goodness

Another fun way to brew tea is “sun brewing”. A gentle process protecting the vitamin and mineral content of the herbs.  Place ¼ cup of herbs in a litre jar, cover the herbs with water and give them a good shake. Cover the jar with a dark cloth and leave the brew in the sun for the day.

Drink 2-4 cups daily for up to 6 months postpartum or until the completion of breastfeeding. The more you drink the more your milk will flow!

Why I created Postnatal Restorative Tea?

I found postpartum a time of incredible joy and many magical moments which I’ll cherish for life. Accompanied with those wonderful experiences was exhaustion and fatigue, like I could have never imagined. I created this restorative tea blend to support you through these months of recovery after birth. Also included in this tea blend are many herbs that support a well-balanced breastmilk supply, with a strong focus on healthy hormone balance.

Many women under estimate how much time, patience and nutrition our bodies need to fully recover from birth. In traditional cultures it’s believed that it takes not only 9 months for a baby to mature in our wombs but another 9 months to recover physically from our birth experience.

BE GENTLE AND KIND TO YOURSELF
