After Pains Relief

After you've birthed your baby - and then your placenta - your uterus needs to adjust.

It begins the slow and steady work of contracting back down to pre-pregnancy size. This is called involution.

This process also helps curb postnatal blood loss from where the placenta was. 

For mums, this process is felt as 'after pains' or involution pains.

Similar to menstrual cramps they can vary in intensity, from mild to very strong.

They're typically worse during breastfeeding, due to the release of the hormone oxytocin. This hormone has a direct effect on the uterus, making it contract.

Unfortunately, after pains tend to get progressively worse after each baby!

They begin around 12 hours after birth and are usually the strongest within the first 24-36 hours.

They typically continue for the first 72 hours, but some mums feel them lingering for 5-7 days after birth.  

After Pains Relief is a liquid herbal extract that provides just that - relief from the cramping.

It's breastfeeding safe and suitable for mamas after vaginal or caesarean births.

After Pains Relief is a herbal extract blend formulated by a Naturopath and Doula.

It contains a blend of carefully selected antispasmodic and muscle relaxant herbs.

These herbs have properties that are aimed at the smooth muscles of the uterus for involution (after) pains.

It's designed to be taken from the day of the birth and throughout the first week.

After Pains Relief contains alcohol based extractions of the herbs. This creates a high potency preparation with high absorbency and fast-acting medicinal properties.

Given that only a very small/negligible amount of alcohol is consumed, it remains a very safe and effective way of using herbs.

Breastfeeding safe formula.

BLACK HAW: One of the best relaxant herbs for the smooth muscle of the uterus. Has both antispasmodic and gentle sedative properties.

MOTHERWORT: Supports the body after birth, as the name suggests. Helps tone the uterus throughout involution, reduces blood loss and alleviates the intensity of after pains.
