If you’ve ever been a new mom—or even if you’re expecting—you probably know that the postpartum period is like nothing else. It’s beautiful, messy, exhausting, joyful, overwhelming, and sometimes downright painful. Everyone talks about pregnancy and that first glimpse of your baby, but rarely does anyone truly prepare you for what comes next: the deep healing your body and mind need once the baby is here.
I want to share something that became my postpartum lifeline, and if you’re in those early days or weeks after birth, I hope it can become yours too. It’s a little magic called Momstead’s Restore + Recover Postpartum Support Tea and their Sitz+Soak Mama Therapy. Trust me when I say these aren’t just “nice to have” products. They’re game-changers—real support for the parts of motherhood nobody warns you about.
Let me take you through what makes these two treasures so special and why they deserve a spot in your postpartum routine (or your gift list for the mama in your life).
The Reality of Postpartum: What No One Really Talks About
Before we dive into the products, can we just pause and acknowledge the postpartum journey for what it really is? Because it’s complex. You’re ecstatic about your baby’s arrival, but also navigating a body that’s been through war—literally—and a mind that’s recalibrating hormones, sleep deprivation, and a hundred new responsibilities.
There’s healing going on down there that isn’t glamorous or quick. If you had a vaginal birth, you’re dealing with soreness, swelling, stitches, or just general discomfort in your most private places. If you had a C-section, that incision needs love and care, too. Your uterus is shrinking back to its pre-pregnancy size, which can feel like cramps on steroids. And emotionally? The rollercoaster is real — from baby blues to full-on exhaustion and beyond.
Most moms I know wish someone had handed them a lifeline—a way to feel a little more okay during this wild time. For me, that lifeline came in two simple but powerful forms: sipping Momstead’s Restore + Recover Postpartum Support Tea and sinking into warm, healing baths with their Sitz+Soak Mama Therapy.
Restore + Recover Postpartum Support Tea: A Hug in a Cup
Imagine this: a moment carved out just for you. You’re holding your baby, maybe your eyes are a little tired, and you need something gentle but effective to support your body and mind. That’s what Restore + Recover tea is like — a warm, calming hug in a cup.
Why this tea matters:
This isn’t just any herbal tea. It’s a thoughtful blend designed specifically for postpartum mamas. The star of the show? Raspberry leaf, a powerhouse herb used for centuries to help the uterus contract back to its usual size. And let me tell you, after birth, your uterus is like a muscle that’s been through a marathon. It needs support.
I remember those first few days postpartum—the cramps felt intense, sometimes unpredictable. Drinking this tea felt like a natural, nurturing way to help my body do what it needed to do. It wasn’t a quick fix, but a steady support, like a friend who quietly encourages you along.
But here’s what surprised me most: the tea isn’t just about physical healing. Postpartum is emotionally draining, too. I was exhausted, sometimes irritable, and all over the place hormonally. Restore + Recover is crafted to help with energy and mood, gently easing some of the fog and fatigue that can weigh on you. It feels like the tea understands you’re not just healing physically, but emotionally as well.
The flavor? Smooth and mild with a tropical vanilla twist that makes it easy to sip—even when your taste buds feel a little off from sleepless nights. Plus, it’s caffeine-free, so no worries about it interfering with those middle-of-the-night feedings.
My Ritual: Making Restore + Recover Tea My Postpartum Pause
One of the most meaningful parts of using this tea was the ritual it created. As a new mom, finding any moment just for yourself is a challenge, but brewing a cup of Restore + Recover felt like a tiny act of reclaiming myself.
Sometimes I sipped it warm, curling up in a chair while baby napped. Other times, iced tea felt refreshing when the days got long and hot. This little pause gave me permission to breathe deeply, to hydrate my body, and to acknowledge my own needs—not just the baby’s.
This isn’t just a product; it’s a tool for self-compassion. Because let’s be real—when you’re pouring everything into your baby, you need moments that refill your cup.
The Healing Bath, You Never Knew You Needed
Now, let’s talk about another unsung postpartum hero—the sitz bath. If you’re thinking, “A sitz what?” don’t worry, you’re not alone. Sitz baths are a tradition that dates back generations, but somehow flew under the radar for many new moms until recently.
The idea is simple but powerful: a warm, soothing bath that targets your most tender areas to promote healing, reduce swelling, and provide relief. After birth, these are exactly the kinds of care those sensitive spots need.
Momstead’s Sitz+Soak Mama Therapy takes the sitz bath to the next level with a blend of Epsom salts and essential oils carefully chosen to calm and heal. The Epsom salts help reduce inflammation and ease soreness, while the essential oils bring a relaxing aroma that turns this healing moment into a mini spa experience.
How It Changed My Postpartum Experience
I remember feeling hesitant at first. The idea of sitting in a bath felt indulgent, almost impossible to fit in. But with Momstead’s blend, I realized it wasn’t just a luxury—it was essential.
After a few days of soaking, I noticed the swelling around my stitches was less intense. The discomfort started to fade, and there was this deep sense of relaxation that seeped into my body and mind. Even my sleep seemed better on those nights after a sitz soak.
I made it part of my daily routine—20 minutes to soak, breathe, and just be. The scent of the essential oils was calming without being overpowering, and the warmth helped my body do the heavy lifting of healing.
How to Make Your Sitz Bath Experience Blissful
Here’s a little guide if you want to try it yourself:
1. Fill your bathtub or a sitz basin (a small plastic tub that fits over the toilet seat) with warm water—just enough to cover your perineal area.
2. Add the Sitz+Soak Mama Therapy blend, stirring gently until dissolved.
3. Set a timer for 20 minutes and sink in. Bring a book, put on some soft music, or simply close your eyes and breathe deeply.
4. When you’re done, pat the area dry gently—no rubbing!
You’ll be amazed at how this small act of care can shift your day. It’s not just about physical relief—it’s a mental reset, a quiet moment just for you.
Why These Two Products Work So Well Together
You might wonder if you need both, or if one is enough. From my experience, they complement each other perfectly.
The Restore + Recover Tea works from the inside out, supporting your body’s systems and mood, helping the uterus heal, and your energy stay up. Meanwhile, Sitz+Soak Mama Therapy provides targeted relief exactly where you need it most, making soreness and swelling manageable.
Together, they create a holistic postpartum recovery routine that’s realistic and nurturing—no miracle cures, just steady, loving support.
Trustworthy Ingredients You Can Feel Good About
One thing that made me confident in choosing Momstead is their commitment to clean, safe ingredients. In postpartum, everything you put in and on your body matters. With babies nursing and skin sensitive, knowing these products are organic, free from nasty chemicals, and thoughtfully crafted in the USA gave me peace of mind.
No harsh additives, no mystery ingredients—just nature’s best, designed for mamas.
The Emotional Side of Postpartum Care
I want to be honest: postpartum care isn’t just about healing stitches or shrinking a uterus. It’s about surviving and even thriving through one of the most intense transitions of your life.
There were days I felt invisible—like my needs didn’t matter anymore. Between the exhaustion and the emotional ups and downs, self-care sometimes felt impossible or selfish.
But that’s where the tea and sitz soak helped me reclaim myself. They reminded me that caring for me was part of caring for my baby. Because a healed, nourished mom is a stronger, happier mom.
If you’re reading this and feeling overwhelmed, know this: you’re not alone. And you deserve moments that bring you peace, comfort, and healing—even if it’s just a few minutes with a cup of tea or a warm bath.
Making Postpartum Feel Manageable
Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual, but tools like Restore + Recover Tea and Sitz+Soak Mama Therapy are as close as it gets. They don’t promise to fix everything overnight, but they give you gentle, effective support during a time when you need it most.
Using them felt like sending a quiet message to myself every day: “I’m here. I see you. I’m taking care of you.”
And honestly? That little message was the start of something big.
