Pregnancy and Natural Childbirth

Natural Childbirth is not a new trend, it has existed long before the modern maternity care practiced in today's world.  A woman's body was designed to conceive, carry and bear children. Prenatal vitamins and DHA are essential for fetal development and health.  It is important to research the types of vitamins you're taking during pregnancy as Prenatal Vitamins and DHA products are not all the same.  

Herbal Planet has a variety of all natural nutrient rich whole food prenatal multivitamin and mineral supplements as well as high quality DHA  providing the mother and child with all the nourishment mother nature had intended.

Yoni Care

The Yoni of a woman is considered to be sacred, as it is the source of life. Yoni is the Sanskrit word for vagina, meaning "source" or "place of origin."  Our Yoni-Cleanse is an herbal blend carefully crafted by our own Doula/ Herbalist Erica, using high quality Organic Herbs, available for purchase.  You can also create your own blends as we have many herbs for sale by the ounce or by the pound bag.  Common Herbs included in some  Yoni blends are: 
  • Basil
  • Calendula  
  • Chamomile
  • Lavender Flowers
  • Marshmallow Root
  • Motherwort
  • Mugwort
  • Oregano
  • Red Raspberry Leaf
  • Red Roses
  • Rosemary, and more!
These herbs work together in a steam to cleanse, support a woman's PH balance, strengthening and toning the uterus, cleansing the urinary tract, providing pain relief, relaxation, and soothing to vaginal tissues.  The Yoni-Cleanse can also help with
  • hormone balancing
  • boosting libido
  • calming inflammation
  • irritations
  • vaginal dryness
  • balancing the sacral chakra and more!
 Steaming is a safer way to cleanse and detox the vagina, as douching can lead to irritations and other complications.  Our steam blends can be done at home to give you the spa treatment in your own personal space.  
We also carry Yoni- Eggs which are made from genuine crystals.  They have been used for centuries to facilitate women's health, pleasure, toning and healing.  Yoni-Eggs provide energetic cleansing and emotional balance.  We have Rose Quartz, Jade and Black Obsidian in stock.
