Remedy Loves Moms

Remedy loves our mommas! As a women-owned and operated company, we (our pharmacists and herbalists) all have a passion for women's health. 

At Remedy, you will find products to support moms at every phase of motherhood. From trimester zero through four (see definitions below) and then products to support new babies and growing children. As we reflect on how important mommas are in this world, we wanted to take a moment to make sure that you are aware of all the thoughtfully curated products we stock to support moms of all stages!

Trimester Zero

You might be asking what is trimester zero? Well, it is the time when you are beginning to prepare for pregnancy, typically the 3-6 months before becoming pregnant. This trimester is often overlooked but there are many things that you can do at this time to prepare for a healthy pregnancy. One of the big ones is hormonal balance for cycle regulation, and the other big one is starting to clean up your exposure to unnecessary chemicals. 

For cycle regulation, we recommend our Women’s Phase 1 Supplement. It is great when you are getting off of birth control and/or want to help your body get back in harmony with your natural cycle. It is great if you are finding any irregularities in your cycle; timing, PMS, cramps, etc.  A healthy cycle is an indication of overall health and balance.

Reducing your exposure to toxic chemicals is great for YOUR health and your future babies. We could write an entire blog post on this alone, but a great resource is "The Natural Way to Better Babies by Naish.. One thing I always recommend for people to do right away is to make sure their cookware does not contain any PFOA or PFOS, and make an effort to create less exposure to plastic in your life. Studies show men and women with higher levels of these chemicals took longer to get pregnant, so start getting these out of your life ASAP. They are hormone disruptors and can reek havoc in multiple ways.  If you need guidance with this, please ask!

Lastly, Maca is a great thing to add in during this phase too. Maca is an adaptogen and helps balance out stressors and has shown improved fertility and mood! The recommended dose is 1,500 to 2,000 mg maca extract daily. It is important, as it always is with herbs, that this comes from a good source as maca is a notoriously adulterated herb. The Maca we carry is from a company that specializes in quality Maca, and have done massive research and development in this field. 

We have a full blog dedicated to fertility by our Clinical Herbalist Anne Salazar, check that out here.

 

Trimester One through Three

While pregnant you will want to ensure you are on a high-quality prenatal multivitamin and omega 3 supplements. We prefer whole-food-based versions, especially for expectant mothers who are experiencing morning sickness. Our favorite is the Baby & Me by Innate. Check out our blog on Natural Strategies for a Healthy Pregnancy for more detailed, helpful information.

We also have some great natural pregnancy-safe remedies for other ailments that might come up during your pregnancy. These include items for morning sickness, anxiety, hemorrhoids, and sleep!

Trimester Four

Trimester four is the time immediately postpartum. This is a pivotal time in your and your new baby’s life. While usually a lot of the focus is on the baby, we like to make sure mommas are getting the attention they need, too! You can find a detailed blog on postpartum care here.

For moms, we love our Postpartum supplement that helps rebuild depleted nutrients for a mother recovering from delivery and who is also breastfeeding. We also carry other items for immediate post-delivery care such as sitz bath sprays and pads. For mothers who need more breastfeeding support, we carry a variety of milk production herbal blends from Motherlove. Check out our full postpartum collection here. 

Suffice to say, through all phases of fertility and pregnancy, a quality probiotic is absolutely necessary for multiple purposes including proper hormone metabolism, fertility, overall health, etc.

We have an entire blog post on Herbs for Breastfeeding Support that can be read here.

New Babies

One of the products we feel strongly about for baby is a good neo-natal probiotic for infants. This is another topic that warrants an entire blog post, so please feel free to join us for a discussion if you have further questions. The long and short of it is, all babies regardless of C-section or vaginal delivery can benefit from this probiotic. The earlier the better, and especially for families that have a history of autoimmune conditions such as asthma or allergies. Studies show that strains such as Bifidobacterium animalis 1. and  Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG  2. can help with colic, immunity, allergies, diarrhea, etc.

Beyond probiotics, infants may also require supplementation of Vitamin D and DHA. Check out our blog on Top 3 Supplements for Babies for more information.

At Remedy, we also stock a few items for infant care, such as diaper balm creams that have herbs with great antibacterial and antifungal activity, all sensitive enough for the baby’s bum!

Growing Infants and Children

As your child grows, their needs do as well. We carry trusted lines of all the daily essentials, including multivitamins, chewable probiotics, and omega 3s! We are proud to offer an extensive list of products from Wish Garden, a line loved by all moms! These glycerite-based herbal tinctures are safe for kids of all ages! Because they are glycerite based, kids don’t mind taking them or you can even hide them in juice. They offer products for common ailments, like allergies, immunity, cough and sniffles, and momma’s favorite.. quiet time/sleep!

 

Thank you to all the moms out there that truly make this world go round. We hope you all have a great mother’s day this year and please let us know if we can answer any questions on the topics listed above. We have pharmacists and herbalists eagerly awaiting to help! You can make a private consult appointment with our Clinical Herbalist, if you would like more personalized help.
