Pam Caldwell with Herblore is an herbalist, lactation specialist, and deals specifically with issues related to pregnancy and women's health. She is very knowledgeable and is always willing help.

I carry her Pregnancy Tea, Pregnancy Tea Plus for the last trimester, Nursing Tea, Post Partum Sitz Bath Herbs, and much more. Please take a look at her site and you will find a wealth of information. I have listed descriptions of a few of her items specifically for use during pregnancy & post partum.

Pregnancy Tea
Herb Lore's Pregnancy Tea and Pregnancy Tea Tincture is a combination of herbs extremely high in vitamins and minerals that are readily absorbed by the body. It is a combination that helps to tone the uterine muscle, and helps to prevent miscarriage and postpartum hemorrhage due to a relaxed or atonic uterus. It is helpful in relieving morning sickness and helps the uterus work in a more efficient way during labor and birth, thus making birth easier and faster. Pregnancy Tea (or tincture) is recommended for use during the entire pregnancy, and even for postpartum recovery. It is very health-building and safe for both mom and baby, and it tastes great too! Ice chips made from the tea provides nutrition and fluids to the new mother during labor. Adding a bit of honey provides extra energy. This will also help keep the uterus working strongly and efficiently throughout labor and birth, helping to facilitate placenta delivery.

Pregnancy Tea Plus
This tea is similar to the Pregnancy Tea, with the addition of Squaw Vine, a late pregnancy tonic herb. It is also used to help strengthen and tone the uterus in preparation for labor and birth, and is recommended for use during the last six weeks of pregnancy. Ice chips made from the tea provides nutrition and fluids to the new mother during labor. Adding a bit of honey provides extra energy. This will also help keep the uterus working strongly and efficiently throughout labor and birth, helping to facilitate placenta delivery.

Hemorrhoid Salve
An herbal salve to help soothe and heal hemorrhoids. Many clients report back that this salve helps when nothing else will, even in severe cases.

Postpartum Sitz Bath Herbs
An herbal combination used to help soothe and heal the perineal area after birth. Keeps swelling to a minimum (especially if the frozen pad method is used), helps the speed the healing process, and fights infection. Use as a sitz bath, in a peri bottle to squirt onto perineal area, or soak sanitary pads to freeze as a cool, pain relieving "ice pack" to wear after the birth. (One bag will make one supply of frozen pads.) Complete instructions are found on the product package label, or under "Postpartum Sitz Bath Uses" under our Articles section on our website. Clients swear by this product! It has become one of Herb Lore's most popular items.

After Pain Relief Tincture
Contains several antispasmodic herbs that are specific for relaxing the uterus, while still allowing the uterus to regain its normal shape and size. This combination is very effective for relieving after birth pains and cramping, which are common for women having their second or subsequent babies.
