Postpartum Recovery Tea Benefits

Postpartum Recovery Tea (代茶) is a nutritiously-packed Chinese herbal drink commonly served for new moms during the postpartum phase. This roasted rice tea has a hint of sweet fragrance and a warming effect to the stomach for better digestion. Under ancient Chinese tradition, nursing wives and postpartum caregivers would encourage one to drink this tea, in lieu of water, as a way of renourishing the body. At MotherlyCare, we believe this herbal tea is critical in the recovery process. However, as part of incorporating modern wellness approaches, we don’t discount the benefits of drinking warm or room temperature water for added hydration.
