Meals aren’t just nourishing — they’re medicine. 🌿
Ayurveda has held the blueprint for postpartum recovery for thousands of years, and at the heart of it is food as ritual.
Every ingredient is chosen with intention — to rebuild what birth asked of your body, rekindle your digestive fire, and support the milk that flows for your baby.
Some of my most-loved herbs for the sacred window:
🌸 Shatavari — the great nourisher. Deeply supportive of lactation and hormonal balance postpartum.
🌾 Ashwagandha — for the exhausted nervous system. Strength without stimulation.
🌱Fenugreek — a time-honored galactagogue that helps milk come in full and steady.
🧈Ghee — yes, ghee is medicine. It lubricates tissues, supports healing, and carries herbs deeper into the body.
🌿 Fennel & cumin — warming, digestive, and gently milk-supporting.
The base of so many postpartum dals and kitchari.
This is the care your body has always deserved. Slow. Warm. Intentional.
If you’re pregnant or newly postpartum in the Bay Area — this is what I do. And I’d love to support you. 🤍
