after pregnancy
I don't know so much about pp night sweats, but exhaustion can cause tension and tension can causes discomfort. For safe inducement of calmness and sleep try:
chamomile flowers brewed into a tea can calm, induce sleep, and be a mental relaxer which can also help as a pain reliever.
From Susan Weed's, Wise Woman Herbal
"Postpartum Depression Brew
1/2 ounce dried, shredded licorice root
1 ounce dried, crumbled raspberry leaf
1 ounce dried, finely cut rosemary leaves
1 ounce dried, cut skull cap
Mix the dried herbs thoroughly together. Use two teaspoons per cup of coing water to prepare this strongly scented and interesting tasting tea.
Licorice favorably affects the hormonal balance and cheers the spirits. Raspberry leaf tones the uterus and ovaries and increases available calcium, making life seem easier. Rosemary increases the milk flow adds calcium, tones the liver, and it is a Wise Woman favorite for depression. Skullcap is also a source of calcium and is a superb nerve strengthener and soother; prolonged use establishes emotional calm.
The usual dose is two or more cups daily for several weeks to two months."
