Natural Postpartum Help
Have you ever thought, "if it is natural it must not work"?
I know I use to think that at times and over the years I've learned that not only do natural methods work, but are incredibly effective as well.
In the case of postpartum, knowing how to help your body during this time of transition naturally will go along way in helping to support not only the baby's health, but yours as well.

Did you know that in the 2 week period before baby is born, baby takes nearly all of momma's essential fatty acid storage?
Did you know that essential fatty acid deficiency is linked to a decrease in overall mood, happiness and mental health?
And the effects can be felt for quite a while. It can take up to 18 months (depending on diet) for momma to rebuild her EFA storage.

Essential Fatty Acids are a key essential component of all cells in your body however, your body does not synthesize omega 3 fatty acids so you need to constantly include them in your diet. Foods like nuts and seeds, especially walnuts are a great source. Diet alone is often not sufficient so we look to supplement this element.
OmegaGize is a great source of omega fatty acids and has a crucially important enzyme: Co-Q 10, along with vitamin d3. Diets high in essential fatty acids, will also produce a fattier and more nutritious breast milk. For milk production and it's effects on overall mental health, I cannot say it enough: postpartum women + Omega Gize

Herbal teas have always been an option to help soothe the worry of the day. Look for a tea with St Johns Wort, Ginkgo Biloba and Chamomile to help wind down and clear your mind of heavy emotions. Slique tea is incredible to stabilize not only blood sugar but also moods since it contains Frankincense resin and Ocotea essential oil!
