Each postpartum soup package includes individually packed dried herbal blends, one for each day (e.g., the 30-day package includes 30 individual packs).

Every pack is pre-measured and designed to be prepared fresh at home.

Our soups are not pre-cooked. Each pack contains a measured blend of premium dried herbs. To enjoy the full benefits, the confinement soup 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.

Yes, our confinement herbal 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.

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 10 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.

We offer confinement soup packages 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 package. It aligns with the traditional 30-day recovery and provides a complete journey through all three stages of postpartum recovery.

Preparing your Golden Month Postnatal Soup is simple:

1. Rinse
   Rinse the herbs from the soup pack in cold water to awaken them.
2. Add ingredients
   Add the rinsed herbs, 1.5L of water, 400-500g of meat (recommended meat is listed on the individual pack), and optional add-ons like 3 slices of ginger or 50ml of rice wine into a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat for 5 minutes.
3. Simmer
   Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 1.5 hours.
4. Finish and serve
   Add ½ -1 tsp of salt, or adjust to taste. Each pack yields about 1L of soup, suitable for 2–3 servings.

Alternative cooking method

• Pressure cooker: Use 1L water and cook for 30 minutes.
• Slow cooker: Use 1.3L water and cook for 4-6 hours.

Enjoy your nourishing bowl of warmth and recovery.

Yes, our soup packages are completely vegetarian. They’re made with 100% plant-based herbs and contain no garlic or onion. You don’t need to add meat when preparing them, though the flavour will naturally be lighter and more herbal.

For a balanced flavour, use vegetable stock and add ingredients such as tofu, mushrooms, carrots, corn, lotus root — or any other protein and vegetables you enjoy.

Each postpartum soup pack is designed for one day, to complement a balanced diet.

It provides 2 to 3 servings and can be enjoyed throughout the day, ideally split between morning, afternoon and evening.

It’s important to consume the soups in the recommended sequence, one pack per day, to ensure your body receives the right support at the right time

Tip: Gently reheat before each serving to maintain warmth and maximise absorption.

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.

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.

Contains peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts) and gluten (barley). May contain traces of other gluten-containing cereals, other tree nuts, soy, sesame, egg, milk, crustacea, fish, lupin and sulphites.

All ingredients are clearly listed on each soup label.

To fully support your recovery during this important time, we recommend combining a few key elements of traditional care. Pairing your post natal soups with Confinement Teas and Herbal Baths helps nourish your body both inside and out, promoting warmth, circulation and balance.

For the complete confinement experience, we recommend the 30-Day Complete Confinement Bundle — soups, teas, and baths for your full postpartum recovery journey in one.

Our herbs are sourced from China. China is the primary growing region and global supply hub for traditional Chinese herbs. Many of these botanicals are native to specific Chinese provinces, where they have been cultivated for centuries under specialised growing conditions.

Sourcing directly from China allows us to access herbs from their authentic growing regions, where factors such as climate, soil, and traditional cultivation practices contribute to optimal quality. It also ensures better consistency, traceability, and selection compared with sourcing through secondary distributors or non-native growing regions.

All of our herbs are batch-tested and supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). The COA verifies safety and quality, including testing for heavy metals and microbial levels.

For every herb we import into Australia, the relevant documentation (including the COA) is submitted as part of the import process. Shipments may also be subject to random inspection or testing by Australian authorities to ensure compliance with strict safety standards.
