I cannot recommend this postpartum soup enough. I knew I needed some extra physical and mental support after my second birth, so I prepped and froze a Chinese medicine soup weeks before giving birth.

Once my baby was born, I had one cup a day, and it was definitely a game changer. This is a wonderful recipe for anyone postpartum or if you want to make it for a postpartum mama.

“In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the first month after giving birth is crucial to the immediate and future health of both mother and baby. A time to rest, recuperate, and be supported. By planning ahead for the fourth trimester not only supports postpartum recovery but also the future menstrual cycle, fertility, and menopause.”

I’m looking forward to making it yearly around my daughter’s birthday as a celebration and to reminisce those special newborn days.
