Mother & Child: Traditional Herbal Support

The safe and effective use of herbal medicine has been an integral part of supportive health care during pregnancy, in childbirth and post-partum for thousands of years. Women have always been concerned with securing a safe delivery of their children and have sought the reduction of vulnerabilities during this extraordinary time. Applying proven natural remedies can prevent complications like haemorrhaging and infections as well as building strength for a speedy birth and good recovery. In Europe herbal medicine is officially used in obstetric care and is regarded as the first choice in preventing and treating common ailments for mother and child. Today scientific studies support this practice.

ARTEMIS Herbal Medicine is named after the Greek goddess of Nature and Wilderness who was also the treasured goddess and guardian of childbirth. Important women's herbs are named after her to this day. Many of the old secrets of European Herbal Medicine and the traditional recipes in the ARTEMIS organic herbal range have been passed on by Sandra Clair's principal teacher. She was a cheerful Swiss nun practising midwifery with extensive experience in the effective applications of herbal remedies in obstetric care.

Therapeutic Herbal Teas (which are fundamentally different from flavoured teas!), are the number one choice of therapeutic support during pregnancy and in child care. They are a gentle yet effective medicine to safely strengthen specific functions of the body for preventative health care or in times of unease. They also increase a feeling of wellbeing. The active constituents of the herbs dissolved in the hot water are easily absorbed by the body which is a major advantage over tablets and pills. They are also an excellent way of increasing fluid intake and are suitable for all age groups including infants.

Fresh-plant Creams extra strength and Herb-infused Oils should be part of every family medicine cabinet to deal with minor discomforts like aches and pains, itching and rashes, skin & wound care and vein problems.

Internally taken Fresh-plant Tinctures are used when deeper healing is needed. They are suitable for all age groups and the drops are easily measured and administered.
