Mummamia Confinement Essentials

Will be receiving some confinement essentials from Mummamia Confinement for trial usage. They consist of pre-packed confinement herbs, herbal bath and mammgation-duce capsules. Not too sure why HE was so amused by this news. I was pretty excited as these items will definitely come in useful during my confinement.

Mummamia Confinement which is an online-based confinement needs one stop service, provides Post Natal products and services to new era mummies. With their “Confinement Made Easy”, mummies can better manage their confinement without much hassle. More information can be found at www.mummamia.sg.

First item in the package is the Ban Kah Chai Confinement Herbal Bath (Mom Series) (万家济妈妈沐浴药材). It mainly help mummies to expel wind, improve blood circulation and reduce after-birth pain. Generally, the mummy should feel more comfortable after bathing. The main Ingredients include: 

- Bu Jin Zi: warming "meridian" and dispelling cold

Last item in the package is the Mammgation-Duce Capsule (通乳丸). It promotes blood circulations, remove blood stasis and maintain healthy internal secretion of mammary gland to enhance lactation. The last aspect is somehow similar to the fenugreek supplements which I had already bought in preparation for my breastfeeding journey. It is not recommended for pregnant women and women during menstruation.
