H - Herbs for HealingIn our modern society, it is the expectation for a new mother to bounce back almost immediately and get back to “normal”. In the U.S., for example, most women only take a 6 week leave from work, if they’re even fortunate enough to take that.

Ladies, we need to take whatever length of time we need to heal. Period.
