  • 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.

1 of 3

Suitable for All Mums

C-Section or Vaginal Birth

Gentle, nourishing blends created to support recovery after both vaginal and C-section births. For surgical healing, simply omit rice wine in the first week — the soups remain just as restorative.

Breastfeeding Mums

Balanced with herbs traditionally chosen to support lactation and replenish energy, such as rice paper pith, peanuts and red dates. Each bowl is designed to comfort, sustain and complement the breastfeeding journey.

First-Time or Seasoned Mums

Whether you’re navigating recovery for the first time or caring for little ones alongside a new baby, our soups take the guesswork out of confinement and provide consistent, nourishing support.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the soups ready to consume? 

Our soups are not pre-cooked. Each pack contains a measured blend of premium dried herbs. To enjoy the full benefits, the dried herbs need to be simmered at home following our simple preparation instructions.

The result? A fresh, nourishing soup made right in your own kitchen. No preservatives, no additives, just real ingredients and traditional care.

How easy is it to prepare the soups?

Very easy! All you need to do is add water, the herbs provided, and (if you wish) meat and rice wine. This takes around 5 minutes.

Then simmer the soup on the stove for about an hour. Or just 20 minutes in a pressure cooker.

That’s it. No complicated steps, just nourishing soup made simply at home.

Are your soups breastfeeding friendly?

Yes, our soups are designed with breastfeeding mums in mind. They include ingredients traditionally used in Chinese herbal cooking to support nourishment during lactation.

These ingredients, such as rice paper pith, peanuts and red dates, have historically been selected to help replenish energy, support general wellbeing and are commonly included in postpartum diets.

However, every body is different - we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns around breastfeeding or dietary needs.

Are your soups suitable for C-section recovery?

Yes, our soups are safe to consume after both vaginal and C-section births. Each blend is made from natural, premium grade herbs and is designed to be gentle and nourishing during your recovery.

However, we recommend omitting rice wine for at least the first 7 days after a C-section. In Traditional Chinese practices, alcohol is considered too stimulating for fresh surgical wounds. You can still enjoy the soup without wine - it won't affect the herbal benefits.

As always, if you have specific medical conditions or are taking medications, please consult your healthcare provider.

When should I start drinking the confinement herbal soups? 

You can start as early as the day after giving birth, but there’s no need to rush. Many mums begin once they’ve returned home from hospital and settled in.

Whether you start right away or a few days later, you’ll still enjoy the full nourishing benefits of the soups throughout your recovery.

How do I choose the right soup package for me?

We offer soup packs for 10, 20 and 30 days, so you can choose what best suits your recovery needs, budget and lifestyle.

  • 10-day pack – Great as a trial or short-term support
  • 20-day pack – A balanced option if you're easing into confinement care
  • 30-day pack – ⭐ Our most popular choice, designed to support you through a full traditional confinement period

For most mums, we recommend the 30-day pack. It aligns with the traditional 30-day recovery and provides a complete journey through all three stages of postpartum healing.

Are there any allergens in your soup?

Contain peanuts, tree nuts (walnut), and gluten (barley). Packed in a facility that also handles milk, egg, soy, sesame, seafood, other tree nuts, and gluten-containing cereals.

All ingredients are clearly listed on each soup label. While our dried herb packs themselves do not contain dairy, shellfish, or animal products, meat is often added during cooking but is optional.

How to store the soup packs?

To maintain the freshness and quality of your premium herbal products, please store them with care:

  • Keep herbal packs in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, heat, or humidity
  • For best results, you may also store them in the refrigerator
  • Avoid exposure to moisture or high temperatures, which may affect the herbs’ potency

The shelf life is up to 1 year.
