For Pregnant and Nursing Women – Herbal Infusion
Moms don't have it easy. Especially when they carry their babies in their tummies or arms. They need loving care and understanding, plenty of rest and a healthy diet. We love our mums, so we have prepared a special mix of herbs for them. As we know – fennel, aniseed, cumin and nettle can relieve discomfort, whether physical or mental.
Ingredients
Anise, Fennel, Caraway, NettleBrew & Taste
The blend has a very light, yellow-green infusion. It smells like peppermint and herbs, and same goes for the taste.
Origins
Mediterranean, Asia, Europe... That's where we could look for the ingredients for this mix of herbs for moms. And that's exactly what we did. But we weren't just looking for herbs – we were looking for the highest quality herbs, from organic farming, freshly dried and stored properly. To our (and the moms') delight, everything turned out well and we got our hands on a quartet of ingredients can help with sore and bloated tummies, breastfeeding difficulties, restlessness and hormonal imbalance.
Fennel is a bit like dill. It's a perennial plant with a familiar smell and taste that has found a place in the kitchen and in the toolkits of folk healers. Both the fresh leaves and the fruit – elongated, yellow-gray schizocarps – are used for culinary purposes.
Aniseed is an annual plant with large, flat leaves and white flowers in the perianths. It is cultivated for its fruits, which need to be harvested in late summer and dried in thin layers. Aniseed has been used as a spice since the ancient times. It smells aromatic and has a spicy sweet taste.
Cumin is also a popular seasoning. The seeds containing essential oils are used in baking, canning, pharmaceuticals and alcohol. The cumin plant has glabrous, feathery leaves and a thin, spindle-shaped root.
Nettle is rightly considered by folk healers to be the queen of herbs. This perennial plant grows on roadsides and in fields and the leaves and inflorescences are harvested from early spring to late May. This is when it contains the most chlorophyll, magnesium and antioxidants. Nettles are harvested both for tea and for making stuffing, spinach or spring soups.
