Who this is for

Beyond the first weeks of postpartum, you did not have the time and energy to keep making those nourishing and warm meals. You find yourself snacking on peanut butter sandwiches of your toddler, even though you're well aware that your body would benefit from more. When your child brings home a virus, there's a good chance you'll be the next to get it. You keep on giving each day, even though it feels like you're running on reserves yourself.

If you recognise yourself in this, this blend was made for you.

Ingredients

[All organic and local] Elderberry (Sambucus nigra, fructus), Nettle (Urtica dioica, herba), Rose (Rosa canina, fructus), Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla,flos) extracted in organic alcohol and distilled water (37% v/v, gluten free).

Elderberry

Rich in naturally occurring antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. Traditionally used to support the body's natural immune defences.

Nettle

Abundant in vitamins and minerals. Herbalism has always turned to Nettle to nourish and strengthen the body.

Rosehips

A natural source high in vitamin C and a wide range of antioxidants. It has been used for centuries to support immune health and overall vitality.

Chamomile

Chamomile has long been associated with relaxation and a sense of calm. Helps the body to unwind.

How to use it

Take 2–3ml directly under the tongue or in a small glass of tea or water. Hold 30 seconds before swallowing for the fastest effect. Another option would be to add to your water bottle and drink throughout the day, although this will depend on your taste experience.

Consistency matters more than timing. The effect of herbs usually lasts for 3-4 hours. These plants work best as daily nourishment rather than acute intervention.

On alcohol content, especially for the breastfeeding mothers: a single dose contains less alcohol than a ripe banana. To be precise — 1/8th of a teaspoon at 70% alcohol. This is for the highest extraction ratio across all Rooted Mothers tinctures.

Contra indications

Pregnancy. None of the herbs in this blend carry documented contraindications for pregnancy.However,herbal preparations as a category have not been formally studied in pregnant women, and the precautionary principle applies. This means that you'll also find the legal disclaimer contraindicating pregnancy on the label of this tincture. If you are pregnant, please discuss use with your midwife or healthcare provider before taking any herbal preparation.

If you are taking pharmaceutical medication, I recommend a conversation with your healthcare provider before introducing any new herbal preparation. I also answer every message directly — reach me on Instagram or by email.

Other things that support your resilience

Actively manage your stress response

Chronic stress is the most common reason the immune system becomes suppressed.

Cortisol by chronic stress has a direct impact on immune function. The Resilient Mother addresses your reserves and strength. The Calm Mother addresses the cortisol layer. If you recognise both patterns, they work well together.

Sleep

A single night can reduce your immune surveillance up to 30%

Sleep is the most direct influence you have available for immune function and no herb can replace it. You don't control the amount of interruptions in the night, but you can control at what time you go to bed. I know how precious me-time is when the house is finally quiet, but sometimes it's simply best to follow your toddler's bedtime.

Vitamin D

This is essential for immune regulation

A large part of Europe receives insufficient sunlight for synthesis between October and April. Deficiency is near-universal in the northern European population during winter and directly impairs the immune response this blend supports.

Eat the rainbow

Try to add many dark colours to your plate

The anthocyanins in Elderberry that give it its immune activity are the same compounds that give dark berries, red cabbage, and purple vegetables their colour. Eating a variety of deeply coloured plants provides the polyphenols that support the immune pathways this blend works on.
