Active Birth - Labour Support Tincture

A gentle yet powerful herbal tincture designed to support labour progress when things have slowed or stalled. This blend is ideal for those experiencing start-stop labour, prolonged early labour, or who feel they need additional energetic and physical support to move labour forward.

Formulated with herbs traditionally used by herbalists to support the nervous system, enhance oxytocin flow, and gently stimulate effective contractions, while promoting a sense of feeling calm and centred. 

Crafted by naturopath and medical herbalist Natasha in Okoroire, Waikato, and infused with Reiki for energetic support.

Discuss any herbal options you are considering with your midwife or LMC before use.
