Herbal Support for Each Trimester
Why Herbs During Pregnancy?
Herbs have supported women for centuries, offering gentle nourishment and balance throughout pregnancy. When chosen carefully, herbs can ease discomfort, strengthen the body, and prepare both mother and baby for birth.
At Divine Khemestry Holistics, I believe in honoring the womb as sacred space, and using herbs that support, never overwhelm, the natural process of creation.
First Trimester
Focus: Calming nausea, easing fatigue, and supporting the womb.
Ginger – Helps with nausea and digestion.
Peppermint – Eases morning sickness and headaches.
Red Raspberry Leaf (light use) – Strengthens the uterus, but best used in moderation early on.
Second Trimester
Focus: Energy, circulation, and gentle nourishment.
Nettle Leaf – Rich in iron and minerals, supports energy and blood building.
Alfalfa – High in vitamins, supports circulation and immunity.
Chamomile – Calms the nervous system and aids digestion.
Third Trimester
Focus: Strengthening the uterus, preparing for labor, and easing discomfort.
Red Raspberry Leaf (stronger use) – Tones the uterus and prepares for efficient contractions.
Oatstraw – Nourishes the nervous system, calms anxiety.
Lemon Balm – Gentle mood lifter, supports restful sleep.
