Anxiety may be a causative factor in miscarriage especially with first-time mothers. Pregnancy Protection has added magnolia bark to improve sleep and ease stress and anxiety. It lends protection against oxidation and inflammation. The mother’s body pain may weaken her energy reserve and endanger the pregnancy.

Suggestions: The traditional method to prepare this sort of herbal mixture is “五碗水煎至一碗: Boil five bowls of water down to one” which makes a water extract. However, if you are new to Chinese herbs, you may find their smell to be strong and the taste rather bitter sweet. We suggest that you become acquainted with them gradually. Empty the package of herbs into – quarts of water and simmer them for up to 30 minutes. A non-metal pot works best. If you have it use a ceramic coated or glass pot. The same herbs may be used again, the second cooking can be as long as 1 hour. Inhale the steam to get acquainted with the herbs. They may help clear congestion and feel relaxing. Allow the mixture to cool until it is comfortably warm. Drink up to a cup once or twice daily between meals.  Please consult your physician before using this product.
