Your womb has done something extraordinary. She grew a whole person, held them safe and released them into the world. She deserves more than to be forgotten in the rush of new motherhood.

Womb Magic Oil is a warming herbal massage oil for the postpartum belly and the menstrual cycle. It’s slowly steeped over one full moon cycle, so the herbs have time to give their all to the oil. Applied with slow, intentional hands to the lower belly, it brings warmth, comfort and a sense of coming home to yourself.

Postpartum belly massage is one of the oldest womb-care practices in the world. Across cultures, it was traditionally used after birth to ease after-pains, soothe a swollen, tender belly and support the body’s natural healing as the womb returns to its pre-pregnancy size. This is the oil made for it.

Not just an oil. A ritual of return.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Clary Sage
Warming, grounding and deeply relaxing. Clary sage has been used in womb-focused massage traditions for centuries, inviting the body to soften, release and settle.

Cramp Bark
Named for exactly what women have always used it for. One of the most traditional herbs for easing the after-pains of the postpartum womb as it contracts back down, and the cramping of the menstrual cycle.

Castor Oil
Rich, warming and slow to absorb. Castor oil packs have been used across cultures for generations to bring deep warmth and circulation to the lower belly, traditionally used to soothe swelling and tenderness and support the body’s natural healing.

Ginger
The great warming herb. Traditionally used to bring heat and circulation to a cold, achy, tender belly, easing tension and deepening the warmth of the massage.

Evening Primrose Oil
Softening, conditioning and deeply nourishing. A favourite in women’s skincare for skin going through hormonal change, after birth and through the cycle.

Black Pepper
Warming and invigorating, amplifying the warmth of ginger and castor oil.

Rose
The emotional heart of this oil. Rose nurtures, soothes and grounds, bringing tenderness and love to the act of caring for your womb.

Motherwort
Named for mothers. A Western herbal classic, traditionally used to ease postpartum after-pains, support the womb through its return after birth, and calm the emotional tenderness of the early weeks.
