Among the most cherished traditions in Chinese postpartum care is the inclusion of nourishing herbal soups. Our Confinement Soups are rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and reflect time-honoured approaches to postpartum care.

Each recipe follows our 3-Stage Recovery Method, with herbs traditionally chosen to support different stages of postpartum wellbeing.

Sold as premium dried herbal packs — conveniently portioned and designed to be boiled at home with water and, where desired, meat.

3-Stage Recovery Method

  • Stage 1: Metabolism & Womb Recovery

    This initial stage focuses on gentle internal cleansing and rest. The aim is to support the body as it recovers from childbirth and prepares for the next phases of recovery.

    • Warm the body and aid circulation
    • Support organ function and natural detoxification
    • Lay the foundation for nourishment in later stages

  • Stage 2: Qi & Blood Restoration

    After childbirth, energy levels are often depleted. This stage introduces ingredients and foods traditionally used to restore balance and encourage strength.

    • Support postpartum energy and joint recovery
    • Ease fatigue and discomfort
    • Encourage milk flow and hormonal harmony

  • Stage 3: Nourishment & Vitality

    The final stage focuses on revitalising the body and replenishing strength for long-term wellbeing. Nutrient-rich foods are used to support whole-body nourishment.

    • Introduce restorative foods rich in collagen and essential vitamins
    • Promote skin, joint and womb nourishment
    • Encourage healthy energy levels and postpartum balance
