The postpartum period is the phase of physical, hormonal, emotional and nutritional recovery following childbirth. It begins immediately after delivery and involves the body’s gradual adjustment from pregnancy to its postnatal state.
During this period, the uterus contracts and returns towards its pre-pregnancy size, pregnancy-related hormone levels change significantly, tissues undergo healing, and the body adjusts to new demands associated with motherhood and breastfeeding where applicable.
Although the first six weeks are traditionally recognised as the initial postpartum recovery period, many physiological changes, including hormonal regulation, pelvic floor recovery, nutritional replenishment and emotional adjustment, may continue for several months or longer.
Postpartum recovery is an individual process influenced by pregnancy, childbirth, blood loss, nutritional status, sleep, breastfeeding and overall maternal health.
Common postpartum symptoms and physiological changes may include:
The nature, intensity and duration of symptoms differ between mothers. Not all symptoms should be assumed to be normal postpartum changes, particularly when they are severe, persistent or worsening.
Pregnancy and childbirth place significant physiological and nutritional demands on the mother’s body. Following delivery, the body enters an important period of tissue repair, hormonal adjustment, uterine recovery and nutritional replenishment.
Postpartum restoration involves more than recovering from childbirth alone. The mother’s body must adapt to changes in reproductive hormones, circulation, fluid balance, sleep patterns and energy requirements while supporting physical healing and, for breastfeeding mothers, the additional demands of milk production.
The Hadassah Healing Oils Postpartum Protocol is intended to provide a structured approach to supporting maternal wellbeing during this period.
The protocol focuses on nutritional replenishment, adequate hydration, digestive function, nervous system wellbeing, emotional support and the body’s normal recovery processes.
A balanced diet, sufficient protein, iron and other essential nutrients, appropriate physical rest and gradual return to activity form the foundation of postpartum recovery. Additional supplementation should be selected according to individual nutritional needs, medical history, medications and breastfeeding status.
The purpose of this protocol is to encourage informed, supportive care for mothers during the transition following childbirth, recognising that every mother’s recovery journey is different.
This protocol is intended to complement, not replace, professional postnatal care. Herbal ingredients and supplements are not automatically safe during breastfeeding, and suitability must be assessed for each product individually.
Seek urgent medical attention for unusually heavy bleeding, fever, severe headache with visual disturbances, chest pain, difficulty breathing, painful swelling in one leg, or thoughts of harming yourself or your baby.
Persistent low mood, overwhelming anxiety or difficulty functioning should also be discussed promptly with a qualified healthcare professional.

Floravive Spore Probiotic 2 Capsules at night
Frankincense and Myrrh Blend one Capsule a day
All our blend’s come in a 30ml glass bottle, with a glass pipette and a rubber bulb on top. Don’t forget to buy empty veggie capsules when purchasing an ingestible blend. (Our veggie capsules are now available in 90’s and 150’s).
Never pre-fill capsules for future use, as this will compromise the veggie capsule and melt. Instead, always fill the capsules just before drinking it. (But if no other option, only prepare up to 3 days’ supply. You MUST then keep them upright in the refrigerator in a marked container; to know which blend it is filled with.)
Method – open the veggie capsule, then open your blend, squeeze and release the rubber bulb to draw the oil blend up into the glass pipette dropper. Then gently squeeze the rubber bulb to fill the larger part of the open capsule. Close the capsule before drinking it. Dosage is always a full capsule of a specific blend (between 15 to 18 drops).
If you have to drink more than one capsule a day, spread them throughout the day, never more than two capsules at a time. Spreading the capsules throughout the day assists the body with proper absorption. Always good to have a very small snack/fruit before drinking capsules.
