After labor tintures

11 is heaven · 11-13-2007, 12:07 PM

I have a client that I do homebirths with (this will be our 4th pregnancy) and she wanted to do after labor tintures (am I even spelling this right?). She found one called After Ease, does anyone know anything about it. Or do you know of any other after labor tintures? Help!! She asked me to ask this three days ago, but I have been crazy busy. Thanks ladies.

I used Wish Gardens AfterEase this time around and it worked great! 3rd baby and after "pains" weren't painful at all.1

tinctures are basically herbal infusions in alcohol. they are far more medicinally potent than, say, a tea infusion of the same herb, are easy to take and can work really well. i make my own tinctures for afterpains but mine are more basic - just cramp bark and/ or black haw. the afterease is a blend of several good postpartum herbs. i would totally recommend that or something like it for a 4th time mama.
