Guided by the 3 Stages of Recovery
-
Stage 1: Release & Repair (清,催)
The first days after birth are about gentle recovery. This stage focuses on clearing lochia, supporting uterine repair and encouraging milk flow. Warmth and nourishment help your body begin its path back to balance.
-
Stage 2: Regulate & Rebalance (调)
As your body stabilises, the focus shifts to harmonising digestion and improving nutrient absorption. This stage helps replenish Qi and blood while restoring steady energy through balanced nourishment.
-
Stage 3: Rebuild & Revitalise (补,养)
The final stage consolidates vitality for the long term. By nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving circulation and building reserves, this phase supports deeper renewal and lasting recovery.
Let customers speak for us
from 53 reviewsAmazing products. I have been looking for confinement soups that are affordable and good quality. This meets both criteria.
朋友推薦我試試 Golden Month 的月子餐,沒想到真的這麼好吃!食材新鮮、調味適中,而且不油不膩,非常適合產後身體調養。每天打開便當都像在拆禮物,每一餐都有驚喜,讓我在帶寶寶的同時也能吃得開心又安心。這是給自己的最好的投資,我會推薦給每一位準媽媽。
Honestly, the best thing I bought during my recovery. It was so simple. No stress figuring out what herbs to buy. Good value compared to other alternatives on the market.
Each sachet had a unique flavour profile, not just the same blend every day. It kept things interesting, and I felt like I was giving my body different support depending on what I needed
I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the herbs in these postpartum soup packs. From the moment I opened the packaging, I could smell how fresh and potent they were. Each ingredient was clearly identifiable and thoughtfully selected. These soups made me feel like I was giving my body the absolute best during recovery.
The soups reminded me of what my grandma used to make. So healing.
I really appreciated how easy the 30 day soup pack made my postpartum meals. The herbs were already portioned, so I just added meat and let it simmer. no stress, even on the most sleep-deprived days.
The soups were deeply nourishing and encouraged me to eat better overall. I found myself reaching for more veggies and protein instead of processed snacks. It’s a great way to stay on track with recovery and nutrition without spending hours in the kitchen
With a newborn and zero energy, this 30-day meal plan was everything I needed. I didn’t have to plan, cook, or clean... just heat and enjoy. The variety kept things interesting and the portion sizes were perfect. You can tell these meals were created with care and deep understanding of postpartum needs. Worth every cent.
You can tell a lot of love went into this tea. The herbs are high quality, and the packaging is beautiful and easy to use.
Bought for my sister-in-law and she teared when she opened it. Said it felt like someone finally thought of the mum, not just the baby.
The packaging is lovely and the portion size is just right. I could feel my body warming up and healing with each soup. A few soups were a bit bitter for my taste but overall a great buy.
I drank it every morning after breastfeeding, and it helped ease the chills I’d sometimes get post-labour. The warming herbs were gentle but effective. I noticed my digestion improved and I didn’t feel as sluggish after meals. The packaging was so well thought out too. It felt like a luxury experience without any fuss: just boil water, steep, and enjoy.
What surprised me most was how emotionally comforting it was. I wasn’t expecting to get teary drinking tea, but it reminded me of the care I would’ve received if my mum or grandma were here. It felt like someone had anticipated my needs and wrapped them into a cup.
I’ve since reordered the tea and now keep a few sachets at work and in my nappy bag, not just for recovery, but because it honestly makes me feel good. I’m so grateful this exists for modern mums like me who want the best of both worlds: tradition, without the hard work.
Honestly didn’t know what to expect, but the soups were amazing. I felt more energy by the 3rd day and it just made the whole confinement so much easier. I didn’t have to think or prep anything. My mum even said the ingredients smell really “buxue” (補血). Super worth it.
這次生完第一胎,我選擇了Golden Month的30天坐月子藥膳湯包,真的超級滿意!從客服的耐心講解到送餐的貼心安排,都讓我感受到滿滿的關懷。
尤其身體在慢慢恢復的階段,這些湯真的讓我感覺更有精神、手腳也不那麼冰冷了。在澳洲坐月子,這樣的服務太貼心了,真的非常推薦給每一位媽媽!
As a first-time mum navigating the haze of early postpartum, I didn’t realise how much I needed this kind of care until it arrived at my doorstep.
Every element of the 30-day meal package felt like it was created with intention - not just to feed me, but to support me. The soups were deeply nourishing, warm, and grounding. Even on days when I barely had time to shower, I could still eat something that felt homemade and healing. The thoughtful touches, from the packaging to the gentle flavours, reminded me to slow down and take care of myself.
It’s more than just food, it’s a quiet companion through the chaos of new motherhood. I felt held, nourished, and no longer invisible. I can’t recommend it enough
Ingredient & Herb Philosophy
In traditional chinese culture, food for postpartum is considered a foundational part of postpartum recovery. Each ingredient is selected not only for its flavour and freshness, but also for its traditional significance in nourishing and supporting mothers after birth.
According to traditional chinese principles, commonly used herbs include:
- Angelica Root (当归) – traditionally believed to nourish the blood and support hormonal balance
- Szechuan Lovage (川芎) – thought to invigorate circulation and ease discomfort
- Solomon’s Seal Rhizome (玉竹) – used to nourish yin and relieve internal dryness
- Red Dates (红枣) – often used to tonify qi, calm the mind and aid digestion
- Ginger (姜) – valued for its warming properties and believed to dispel “cold” after birth
Vegetables traditionally included in confinement meals:
- Spinach (菠菜) – a source of iron, used to support blood nourishment
- Kai Lan (芥兰 / Chinese Broccoli) – warming and fibre-rich, supports digestion
- Pumpkin (南瓜) – naturally sweet and easy to digest, often used to nourish Qi
- French Bean (四季豆) – thought to help ease fatigue and support milk supply
- Bitter Melon (苦瓜) – used in moderation, traditionally associated with liver support
Mushrooms are also a staple for their restorative properties:
- Shiitake Mushroom (香菇) – believed to support immunity and add depth to broths
- King Oyster Mushroom (杏鲍菇) – high in protein and said to promote satiety
- Wood Ear Fungus (木耳) – used to support circulation and gentle cleansing
- Lion’s Mane (猴头菇) – traditionally associated with supporting cognitive health
- Cordyceps (虫草花) – considered a tonic for energy and lung function

Why Confinement Care Matters
Childbirth is a powerful event that leaves the body open, depleted, and vulnerable, but also uniquely receptive to nourishment and restoration. The way a mother cares for herself in these first 30 days is believed to shape not only her recovery now, but her wellbeing for years to come.
