Mamas Little Helper - Postpartum Support Tincture

Postpartum Recovery & Uterine Tonic Tincture

Birth is one of the most physically demanding things a human body will ever do. The bleeding, the healing, the hormonal rewiring, the organ that just grew and birthed a whole person now needing to find its way back — your postpartum body deserves real, targeted botanical support.

Mama’s Little Helper is a five-herb recovery tincture formulated for the first 40 days postpartum. It focuses on three things your body needs most after birth: uterine healing and toning, liver support and hormone metabolism, and haemostatic recovery. This isn’t a gentle wellness supplement — it’s proper postpartum medicine, working quietly and steadily while you do the most important work of your life.

Key Benefits:

- Supports uterine involution and toning after vaginal and caesarean birth
- Helps reduce excessive postpartum bleeding and supports haemostatic recovery
- Supports liver detoxification and healthy postpartum hormone balance
- Aids in the clearance of postpartum swelling and fluid retention
- Designed for the first 40 days — pairs beautifully with Peace Out Mama

For best results, begin in the first days after birth and take consistently throughout the first 40 days postpartum. Can be used alongside all other Mother Moon products.

Healing Properties

Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus)
The most beloved uterine tonic in Western herbalism.

Red Raspberry Leaf tones and strengthens uterine tissue, supporting the involution process — the uterus returning to its pre-pregnancy size — while its astringent properties help reduce excess postpartum bleeding. Rich in tannins that extract beautifully into tincture form, Red Raspberry Leaf is foundational postpartum medicine with centuries of use behind it.

Benefits for Postpartum:

- Supports uterine involution and healthy toning after birth
- Helps reduce postpartum bleeding through astringent action
- Deeply nourishing tonic for the recovering postpartum body

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
Don’t underestimate the humble weed — she is one of the hardest workers in this blend.

Dandelion works on both liver and kidneys, helping regulate the postpartum hormone cascade through gentle detoxification, reducing the swelling and water retention so common in early postpartum, and acting as a bitter digestive tonic to support nutrient absorption during recovery. Nutritive, diuretic, and liver-supportive all at once.

Benefits for Postpartum:

- Supports liver detoxification and healthy postpartum hormone clearance
- Reduces postpartum swelling and fluid retention
- Bitter tonic action supports digestion and nutrient absorption

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum)
The liver’s greatest botanical ally.

Your liver is working overtime in the postpartum period — processing the massive hormonal shifts of birth, clearing the biochemical remnants of pregnancy, and supporting milk production. Milk Thistle’s active compound, silymarin, is one of the most well-researched hepatoprotective compounds in plant medicine. It protects and regenerates liver cells, supports healthy hormone metabolism, and carries a secondary galactagogue action as a welcome bonus.

Benefits for Postpartum:

- Protects and supports liver function during the intense postpartum hormonal shift
- Supports healthy oestrogen metabolism and hormone clearance
- Secondary galactagogue action supports milk supply

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Ancient wound healer. Faithful postpartum ally.

Named for Achilles, who reportedly used it to treat battlefield wounds, Yarrow has a legendary history as a haemostatic and anti-inflammatory herb. For postpartum mamas, this translates to support for reducing excessive lochia, soothing uterine inflammation, supporting perineal healing, and its antimicrobial properties offer gentle protection against postpartum infection.

Benefits for Postpartum:

- Helps reduce excessive postpartum bleeding and supports haemostatic recovery
- Anti-inflammatory support for uterine and perineal healing
- Antimicrobial protection during the vulnerable postpartum recovery period

Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris)
Small herb. Significant effect

One of the most clinically respected haemostatic herbs in botanical medicine, Shepherd’s Purse is included specifically for its powerful action on postpartum haemorrhage and prolonged bleeding. It contracts uterine tissue, reduces blood loss, and supports the return to healthy uterine tone. The smallest percentage in this blend — because this herb does not need to shout to be heard.

Benefits for Postpartum:

- Strongly haemostatic — supports the body in reducing postpartum blood loss
- Contracts and tones uterine tissue
- Supports the uterus in returning to its pre-pregnancy size and tone
