Postpartum is a time of intense hormonal shifts, as a new mum’s body adjusts after pregnancy and birth. Oestrogen and progesterone drop rapidly, cortisol levels rise due to stress, and sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on emotional well-being.
While the focus is often on the baby, a mother’s recovery is just as important. The right natural remedies and holistic wellness tools can support hormonal balance, ease anxiety, and promote deep nourishment—all of which are essential for postpartum healing.
Here are the best natural, holistic gifts that truly help a new mum feel better, stronger, and more balanced.
