Below is the latest up-date on Pam!

At this special time of year of giving thanks and of miracles, we are happy to announce that Pam's ruptured disc has receded and is healing itself!  This means she will no longer require surgery to repair it!  She continues to build strength in her back and leg, and we're happy to say, is back in the office pretty much full time now.  She is happy to get back to doing what she loves, which is being of service and of help to her clients, and helping moms and babies during this most special time of their lives.  We are happy and grateful for you, and the opportunity and honor of being of service to you!

After Pain Relief Tincture (this one is also a must for moms having their second or subsequent babies.)
Healing Salve (apply to baby's bottom at each diaper change to provide easy and effortless removal of baby's sticky first poops (meconium). 

What do I need to have for my milk production?

Nursing Tea or Nursing Tincture (scroll past the Goat's Rue entry.  This is a very effective and gentle product to help increase milk production.  Many mothers of twins use this and nothing else and make plenty of breastmilk for both babies.  This product is recommended to try first, especially with newborns, as it is very gentle on baby's tummy while being very effective.  The tincture is the most convenient way of using this product, as nothing needs to be prepared by you.)
Goat's Rue (one of the best herbs for increasing breastmilk production.  Best herb for women who have trouble with production right from the start.)
Fenugreek (scroll down past the Fennel entries.  Fenugreek is also one of the best herbs for increasing milk production.  It works very well, but it must be used with consistency for best results.  See info here for detailed info on this herb and how to use it correctly.)

Click here for an easy-to-read, yet indepth and informative article on how to increase your breastmilk production.

What do I use if I'm making too much milk or need to dry up my production?
Sage (click here for more info)

Plugged ducts?  Mastitis?
Poke Root (read detailed info here.  Scroll to Plugged Ducts & Mastitis sections.)

What do I need to have on hand for my baby?

Healing Salve (helps with removal of sticky meconium plus it helps heal diaper rash in record time.  Keep a large jar by your changing table and a small one in your diaper bag.)

Economic times are tough.  Consider this:

Herbs are affordable and they work. 

1) Herbs can help to keep you healthy.
This can save you money by helping to avoid lost time at work (or the difficulty of being a sick parent at home trying to take care of little ones) and the costs of getting well.  Save yourself money by keeping yourself healthy!

2)  Baby formula is expensive! 
A month's worth of herbs to increase your breastmilk production is much cheaper than a month's worth of formula, even when purchased from a big box discount store (not to mention that breastmilk is by far much healthier for your baby).  If you have a choice, do your wallet and your baby a favor.
