HERBAL REMEDIES

Genevieve will recommend and often provide certain herbs and natural remedies after birth and during your pregnancy.

Sitz bath herbs can be added to a bath to help ease soreness or can be brewed and used in a Peri Bottle or on a chilled pad for extra comfort. The mix of herbs helps with recovery.

Goldenseal has numerous uses that are attributed to its antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. One of the uses is to sprinkle some on a newborn’s belly button to help it heal.

Arnica is a homeopathic that  reduces bruising and minimizes strain on soft tissues.

Chlorophyll drops can be added to your water to help reduce swelling. Among its many benefits it also encourages healing.
