20-Day Confinement Soup PackageTwo stages

From Customer Reviews

Based on all customer reviews, mothers consistently report measurable improvements in their physical recovery, energy levels, and milk supply during the critical first month postpartum.

• Milk supply: First-time mothers specifically mention the soups helped their bodies recover from the significant changes of birth, with one customer noting her milk supply increased from about 0.7–1 US fl oz (20–30 mL) of colostrum to about 5 US fl oz (150 mL) per session within just one week of drinking the soups alongside the lactation tea.
• Energy restoration: Reviewers who remembered feeling "depleted and exhausted" with previous births emphasized how the soups gave them noticeably more energy during those demanding early weeks, helping them manage night feeds, diaper changes, and sleep deprivation.
• Mental relief: Multiple customers describe how knowing their body was being "properly nourished" removed a huge mental load during a time when they were already overwhelmed, making the soups as valuable for mental wellbeing as physical recovery.
  

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.

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

From Customer Reviews

Customers report generous portions that stretch across multiple meals, with flexibility to adjust based on your appetite.

• 2-3 meals per day: Reviewers confirm "the portion size was good, enough to have over 2-3 meals" from each daily package.
• Adjustable servings: One mother successfully divided packages in half to "extend my journey longer" while keeping ingredients fresher, showing the portions are substantial.

Yes, our confinement herbal soups are designed with breastfeeding moms 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.

You can start as early as the day after giving birth, or wait until you are home from the hospital and settled in. Both work, so go with whatever feels manageable.

The soups are gentle and warming, and they suit cesarean recovery well. One thing to note: leave the rice wine out for at least the first 10 days. In traditional practice, alcohol is considered too stimulating for a fresh surgical wound. The soup works just as well without it.

If you have a specific medical condition or are taking medication, please check with 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 moms, 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 Postpartum 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, about 6⅓ US cups of water (1.5 L), about 14–18 oz of meat (400–500 g) (recommended meat is listed on the individual pack), and optional add-ons like 3 slices of ginger or about 3 US tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of rice wine (50 mL) 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 4¼ US cups of soup (1 L), suitable for 2–3 servings.

Alternative cooking method

• Pressure cooker: Use about 4¼ US cups of water (1 L) and cook for 30 minutes.
• Slow cooker: Use about 5–5½ US cups of water (1.2–1.3 L) and cook for 4–6 hours.

From Customer Reviews

Based on customer reviews, new parents consistently report that preparation is simple enough for partners with no cooking experience to handle daily.

• Partner-friendly preparation: Multiple reviewers specifically mention their husbands successfully preparing the soups, with one stating "they are very easy to prepare, even my husband can do it."
• Pressure cooker simplicity: Customers report "just throwing everything together each day" with a pressure cooker and getting great results every time, with clear instructions eliminating guesswork.
• Pre-organized daily packages: Each of the 20 days comes with its own customized package, so you don't have to think about what to make or measure ingredients during recovery.
  

From Customer Reviews

First-time users with no traditional cooking experience report excellent results following the included instructions.

• No experience required: Partners and family members with no background in Chinese cooking successfully prepared the soups daily, with one husband managing preparation while his wife recovered.

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 flavor will naturally be lighter and more herbal.

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

Yes. Every pack contains dried herbs only. No meat is included, so there is nothing in the pack itself that needs to change. You add your own protein at home when you cook.

Where pork is suggested on a daily pack, swap in chicken, beef, lamb or fish, whichever suits you. The meat suggestion is there for flavor and balance, not as a requirement, and changing it will not affect the herbal benefits.

If you would rather skip meat altogether, use a vegetable stock with tofu, mushrooms or any plant protein you enjoy.

You can start as early as the day after giving birth, but there’s no need to rush. Many moms begin once they’ve returned home from the 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.

Not at all. The soups are nourishing at any point in the postpartum period, and many moms begin later than day one. Traditional confinement care is often observed for up to 100 days after birth, so a few weeks in you are still well within that window.

Start at Stage 1, Day 1 and work through in order rather than skipping ahead to match the week you are in. The three stages are sequenced deliberately. Stage 1 releases and repairs, Stage 2 regulates and rebalances, and Stage 3 rebuilds and revitalizes.

Traditional practice introduces the richer tonifying herbs only once the body has finished clearing, and the gentler early blends give your digestion time to settle before the stronger ones arrive. Working through in order means you get the full benefit of the sequence, just on your own timeline.

Tap through the 30 days to see why each stage comes when it does.

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

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 postpartum 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 come from China's traditional growing regions, the heartlands where each ingredient has been cultivated for generations. Sourcing directly from China lets us access herbs from their authentic growing regions, where climate, soil and traditional cultivation practices all contribute to quality. It also gives us better consistency, traceability and selection than sourcing through secondary distributors or non-native growing regions.

Every herb is batch-tested and supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), which verifies safety and quality, including testing for heavy metals and microbial levels.
