Motherlove was the first company to create an all natural herbal product and supplement line designed specifically with pregnant and breastfeeding women in mind. The line now offers products that are useful from pregnancy throughout birth and baby products are also available.
Created in 1990 by nationally acclaimed herbalist Kathryn Higgins, Motherlove products follow a rigorous quality assurance program that includes testing the herbal supplements for bacteria, lead and heavy metals. All of the herbs are classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) which is based off of standards set by the FDA and the AHPA. All products are 100% guaranteed and contain no preservatives, unnatural chemicals, artificial fragrances or dyes, and are cruelty free.
Beginning with pregnancy, there are many products available that are designed with mother's to be in mind that will make their nine months a little easier and more pleasant. A very lovely and useful product is the Motherlove Belly Oil. Scented with lavender and chamomile, the oil can be used on the belly area, on the thigh areas, and even on rough hands and feet. The product is so gentle you could use it on a baby. The herbs in the Belly Oil are known to prevent scarring and to increase elasticity of the skin.
The oil doesn't have a very heavy or greasy consistency. It actually disappears into the skin rather nicely. A similar product is the Belly Salve which has a thicker, waxier consistency but accomplishes generally the same things. Another product you could add to your daily routine prior to using the Belly Oil or Belly Salve is the Motherlove Baby Me Bath salts. Scented the same way as the Oil and Salve, the salts provide relief to a growing, dry and itchy belly. Pregnancy is the time to pamper yourself so soak away in relief. These salts are also useful for skin rashes, chicken pox, or poison ivy. This product is also safe to use on children.
After the rigorous activity of giving birth to your newborn child, a woman's body needs some time to rest, and rejuvenate itself. The body and the skin need to heal, and Motherlove has some really great products that are designed to aid in that process. The Sitz Bath and Sitz Spray are formulated with witch hazel, yarrow, sea salts and uva ursi and are designed to soothe and heal sore perineal muscles, reduce swelling, and heal tears. Some mothers are unfortunate enough to battle the dreaded hemorrhoids that can creep up during pregnancy. The Sitz Bath and Spray are also useful in shrinking hemorrhoids, and a Rhoid Balm is also available to help heal and provide relief.
While not all new mothers decide to breast feed their babies, a good majority do still follow this recommended tradition. Motherlove provides a wide variety of all natural products to help increase milk flow such as More Milk Plus Vegetarian Capsules which contain herbs that when combined in this one formula provides immediate results. All of the herbs used in these lactation products are certified organic. These supplements are available in capsule form as well as liquid form and different versions are available such as alcohol free and vegetarian. The testimonials on Motherlove's website are from mothers who were amazed at how quickly and how well these products worked. They were recommended by the hospitals they gave birth at, as well as people they knew and effective results were achieved.
A baby's skin and body is so gentle that typically specific products are designed in gentle formulas that mothers can feel comfortable with using on their newborn babies. Many of Motherlove's products are so gentle they can be used on baby, but also a special line of products are available with babies in mind. Diaper Rash and Thrush cream is available as well as Green Salve which is useful on insect bites, and skin rashes. Several gift packs are available for mom and baby as well.
The quality of Motherlove products is really very stellar compared to other pregnancy related products. All products are held to such a high and natural standard that you can trust everything you purchase from Motherlove. Keep in mind, the products and supplements you choose to use during pregnancy are also being used by your baby. 60% of the products you use each day are absorbed into your body through your skin. That means if your daily moisturizer has methylparaben in it, your baby is at risk for having that chemical entering its body. I would highly recommend visiting Motherlove's website (www.motherlove.com) and purchasing a few basic products to have on hand during your pregnancy. Read some of the testimonials to see the wonderful results these products have had on mothers all over the country.
