The Top Ghee Blends for Postpartum

Pure caramelized ghee that's sourced from pasture-raised cows is a postpartum superfood in its own right. As a truly nutrient-dense fat, it has a powerful replenishing action during a time of physiological depletion and enhances nutrient absorption from the foods with which it's paired. Yes, ghee on its own supports hormone production and balance, cognitive function, and nervous system regulation... but herbs can synergize with this liquid gold to serve even more targeted support. Here are our recommendations for the best blends during the sacred postpartum period!

1. Levity

Skullcap is an incredible ally for new mothers to support the nervous system, reduce tension, promote restful sleep, and address mild postnatal blues. According to wise woman herbalist Robin Rose Bennett, it can also help release the imprints of physical and emotional trauma from the body, and restore a sense of safety. Paired with lavender, vanilla, and honey, this blend powerfully promotes calmed nerves and embodied presence.

2. Golden Ghee 

Turmeric is a powerful food medicine, especially when paired with healthy fat + black pepper for enhanced bioavailability. Our golden ghee blend has a high curcumin content with renowned inflammation- taming properties that can help prevent swollen breast tissue and clogged milk ducts, as well as supporting recovery from labor. It is also positively indicated for “neuro-inflammation,” an underlying cause of depression.

3. Milk Moon

Formulated for specific and targeted support during the postpartum period, this beloved blend attempts to hit every need. It features rose, shatavari, lion’s mane extract, beetroot, raw local honey, ceylon cinnamon, vanilla, and cardamon—ingredients that support lactation, cognition, circulation, hormonal (re)balancing, nervous system regulation, and healthy stress response. 

4. Mermaid Butter

Rich in antioxidants and minerals, this blend helps feed and protect on the cellular level. Because nourishing new life and giving birth entails a massive expenditure of life force energy, we need this foundational replenishment. Pearl extract has profound reparative properties, supporting collagen synthesis, cell renewal, and optimal hydration (which also supports breast milk production). Blue spirulina extract is an inflammation tamer clinically shown to alleviate physical discomfort. Both support balanced energy levels and a nutritive milk supply, and are delicious paired with maple sugar, raw local honey, and vanilla bean.

5. Kindling 

This versatile blend is soothing and gently warming, with a bright and toasty flavor that rekindles the energetic flame deep within. Calendula blossoms are protective and inflammation-taming, additionally helping to soothe digestive upset. It also features three galactagogues (coriander, fennel and fenugreek seeds), which work together synergistically to promote milk supply.
