A few people have asked us about our MaternTEA that we sell in the store. Our signature teas are made by Herban Avenues and are a great beverage option for both moms and moms-to-be.
Pre-Natal Materni-TEA
Adapted from a recipe by Nancy Giglio (nurse midwife). Contains raspberry fruit and leaf, alfalfa, oatstraw, nettles, rosehips, lemon balm, spearmint, hibiscus, and orange peel. Good nutrition (calcium, iron, vitamin B and C, trace minerals) to keep mom well. This tea eases stomach issues and tones the uterus lining. A toned uterus lining makes for an easier delivery and recover.
Recipe idea: mix it with cranberry/raspberry juice and drink cold!
Post-Natal Materni-TEA
Lactation promoter/anti-flatulent for mom and baby. Contains nettles (which replenishes lost iron), raspberry leaf (uterine tonic), fennel (anti-flatulent and estrogen booster), fenugreek (lactation promoter), and peppermint (great tasting digestive aid). Best served as a hot tea. So soothing!
Why drink herbal tea?
Herbal teas contain vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, and phytochemicals that are good for you and your baby. and no caffeine. Forget sodas (no food value) and decrease sugary drinks (like juices and lemonade) by substituting cold or hot herbal tea. You'll be hooked in no time!
