Summer Fun for Earth Mamas and Angel Babies
July is all bustle and beach balls, and with summer finally here we feel like we have to get outdoors before we get stuck inside again! But the rush stops when the heat hits, and all we want to do is sloooooow down, sip cool drinks and kick back in the shade. If you're a mama due in July or August, you may feel like a beach ball, so put your feet up and ice that Third Trimester Tea, because you're in need of some real chilly pampering. | | |

Herbs for Girl Parts
 We love herbs, and we love all those miraculous parts that make us girls, so this month we talk about herbs for girl parts! Red Raspberry Leaf and Lady's Mantle are queens in the herb world for helping out with female troubles. Our teas are filled with them, and we think Mother Nature has blessed us with power-packed herbs that help women through all stages of pregnancy and childbirth.
One of our fine Experts on the Earth Mama Angel Baby Expert Panel has a thing or three to tell you about Red Raspberry Leaf, and check out our Institute of Heavenly Edification correspondence course on Uterine Tonics. We know school's out, but EMAB's University of Maternal Wisdom goes year-round! | |

This month: What is a Uterine Tonic? Pencils ready!
We all understand about having toned muscles, but we don't often think about toning our internal organs. They work away, unseen but expected to work on demand non-stop for the rest of our lives. During pregnancy the hard working uterus is not only growing and stretching at an amazing rate, but it is also the protective envelope around our most precious cargo. The use of uterine tonics like Red Raspberry Leaf helps to tone up the tissue of the uterus, allowing it to undergo the incredible changes of pregnancy with greater ease.
Postpartum, astringent uterine tonics like Red Raspberry Leaf and Lady's Mantle act like a refreshing splash of cool water, tightening the tissue and removing inflammation or bogginess. A good astringent uterine tonic may help regulate the imbalances some women suffer during menstruation. If this all-important organ is kept in tip-top shape the likelihood of sailing through the monthly cycle problem-free is greatly increased. | |

Tea on Sale!!
Speaking of herbs (when are we not??), we’ve got three of our fantastic 100% USDA certified organic herbal teas on sale this month. Postpartum Tea contains astringent herbs (like Red Raspberry Leaf and Lady’s Mantle!) to help tone the uterus, while others nourish, calm and balance brand new mamas. Postpartum Tea is also helpful to ease the monthly crampy grumpies for any of our menstruating mates out there.
Bestselling Milkmaid Tea combines Red Raspberry Leaf with natural galactagogues, herbs traditionally used to help increase breast milk supply. And sublime No More Milk Tea is Mama’s favorite iced tea. It’s the perfect summer refresher for anyone who is not pregnant, and is no longer nursing, and, of course is great for mamas who want to stop their breast milk supply.
Until the end of the month, this trio is on sale for 15% off.

Mama's Question of the Month
From time to time we get questions that are emailed or phoned in to Mama Central more frequently than others, and since we're chatting about Postpartum Tea this month, Mama wanted to answer the most popular question about this calming and balancing blend:
 Is it safe to drink Postpartum Tea while breastfeeding?
 Smart mama, we're so glad you are asking these questions to keep you and your baby safe. Because we advocate breastfeeding, I formulate all our products assuming that mama is nursing. (Even No More Milk Tea is safe, but it's really for those who have had to stop breastfeeding quickly.) Postpartum Tea is also especially helpful for monthly period cramps and moodiness, and some long-past-baby-days mamas tell us it's terrific for perimenopause symptoms too.
Please remember, we love you to bits, so for your safety and assurance you should always ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions about herbs and pregnancy. | |

Smooches for you from under my sun hat,
