HARNESS THE HEALING POWERS OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE.
‘Moxa’ or Moxibustion is a treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine. This one is wonderful to help heat your womb after birth to bring in new blood and circulation and for those who have had cesarean births.
This Mother Warming Moxa Stick is an easy in-home postpartum healing therapy for mothers harvested from the mugwort plant.
It helps to bring warmth and comfort back to the womb after the tremendous effort and energy required to grow and birth a baby by promoting the circulation of Qi and blood. Nourish and honour the uterus gently with this deeply relaxing and healing method.
This stick is non-smoking and safe to be used indoors - even in the bedroom.

Made from charcoal and ground mugwort leaves
What You Need
1 non-smoking moxa roll (included) 11cm x 1.4cm; a lighter, match or candle; a small ceramic or glass dish to place any ash that forms on the moxa stick during treatment, a small towel to place under the area being treated in case any ash is dropped, a glass screw-top jar or ramekin with a layer of rice in the bottom to extinguish the moxa.
Instructions
Light one end with a lighter or by holding over a candle - it may take several minutes. Once stick is correctly lit, you will be able to hold the lit end 2-3 cms from the back of your hand and feel a pleasant radiating warmth. Hover the lit end of the stick over lower abdomen and womb area, maintaining a distance of at least 2-3 cms - so there is never any direct contact with the skin. In the case of caesarean scar, you can hover along the scar line. Move the moxa stick slowly over the abdomen - it will begin to feel pleasantly warm. Any ash formed on the end can be removed by gently tapping the stick on the edge on your small dish, so the moxa stick remains hot. Re-light if there is no longer any radiating warmth or redness on the end of the stick. When treatment has finished place the stick in a glass jar lined with dry rice to prevent the heat cracking the glass bottom. When the lid is screwed on firmly the stick is deprived of oxygen and will not continue to burn. It can then be relit for repeated treatments until it is all used. Ideally, use within the first month of postpartum. Each moxa session can be anywhere from 5-15 minutes long.
Use only as directed. Do not ever touch the lit end of the moxa stick or apply onto bare skin as it will burn.

from 17 reviewsOne of the cleanest/shortest list of ingredients I've seen on the market. This and Wotnot are great. Will definitely be buying again when run out.
Pleasant smell, nourishes my skin really nicely. Wish I purchased earlier whilst still pregnant, but oh well, never too late to get started I guess. Will buy again when I run out.
Beautifully packaged & feels so nourishing to drink
Silverettes are nipple saviours! Would do postpartum without them.
My daughter loved the gift card! It was perfect for me because I am in the United States and she lives in Australia.
This is my 2nd time buying these cookies. They’re delicious and feel healthier than what I’m able to make at home. Great for a daytime snack or very early in morning to help with staying awake while breastfeeding. Will definitely buy again!!
Delicious and super easy way to start the morning. Have been using this as a morning coffee replacement and am happy with the results. Will but again and now want to try the other options in this range.
I wore these from the very start of my bf journey, and though its a bit of a rough journey for nipples, mine never got red / cracked / bleeding and I praise these little gems for that!
I've been insatiably ravenous while breastfeeding and these biccies are the perfect one handed treat!
My wonderful Radiant Birth book came beautifully packaged with thoughtful personalised note & crystal. A wonderful experience with WOOM.
A book that everyone needs before they give birth. Do yourself a favour, it read and savour it. It could change your entire postpartum period.
Absolute life changer I have been using foraged for 2 months now and it increases my energy, mood and makes me feel all round better. I honestly couldn't live without it again
Such a beautiful nourishing product, perfect for any stage of motherhood. It has changed my life since taking it, so much energy and clarity of mind.
MAGIC!
Bought one as a gift and one for me - this product is stunning. Smells amazing, feels so lovely on the skin and the little flowers in the bottle make it feel like a real treat!
Honestly, I wish I did my research before because Foraged has been incredible to my body. The first time having it in my smoothie I went without a coffee for days. Eventually when I had coffee it wasn’t because my body craved it but just a social habit. My energy levels, mood, everything elevated and I’m feeling great. I will forever rave about this product. Give it a go mama!
