Not sure where to start? Most women rotate between blends depending on how their body feels. Think of them as different forms of support for different moments in pregnancy.

Pregnancy Vitality

Best for: low energy, fatigue, colder months

Choose this if you are feeling:

• Tired or low in energy
• Cold, sluggish, or depleted
• In need of warming, revitalising support

This blend is traditionally used when pregnancy fatigue is more prominent, especially during winter or busy periods. It helps support warmth, circulation, and gentle vitality.

>>> If you’re constantly feeling “tired no matter how much you rest,” this is usually the best place to start.

Pregnancy Radiance

Best for: dryness, skin support such as stretch-marks, overheating, hormonal heat

Choose this if you are feeling:

• Dry skin, lips, or digestion
• Overheated or “heaty” during pregnancy
• In need of hydration and yin nourishment

Pregnancy Radiance is designed to nourish and replenish fluids, something many women naturally need more of during pregnancy. It’s often the most popular all-round daily support blend.

>>>If you’re unsure, this is the safest “anytime pregnancy” blend to begin with.

Pregnancy Nurture

Best for: grounding, traditional pregnancy support (an tai)

Choose this if you want:

• Traditional “an tai” pregnancy support
• Gentle foundational nourishment for you and baby

This is our most traditional formulation, used to support stability and long-term nourishment throughout pregnancy.

>>Many women take this as their “base blend” throughout pregnancy.

All pregnancy blends are suitable from the second trimester onwards.

This is when your body typically requires deeper nourishment and ongoing support.

If you are unsure, always consult your midwife, doctor, or qualified TCM practitioner, especially if you have a higher-risk pregnancy or specific health concerns.

We recommend starting gently, once every 2-3 weeks to begin with.

From there, many women adjust to:

• Once a week - fortnight
• Or more regularly during times of higher need

Your body’s needs can shift throughout pregnancy, so it’s completely normal to rotate blends depending on how you feel.

Yes, this is exactly how they are designed to be used.

Think of it like this:

• Feeling tired → Vitality
• Feeling dry or hot → Radiance
• Wanting grounding support → Nurture

Many customers use a combination of all three throughout pregnancy.

Our blends are formulated for the average healthy pregnant woman with no major complications.

They have been formulated using traditional food-based herbal ingredients and designed to be gentle and nourishing.

However, we recommend checking with your practitioner if you have:

• A high-risk pregnancy
• Existing medical conditions
• Are taking prescription medication
• Specific TCM constitution concerns

Fish maw is a traditional Asian ingredient valued for its natural collagen content.

In Chinese dietary therapy, it is traditionally consumed:

• During pregnancy (about once per week)
• And more regularly postpartum

It has long been used to support nourishment, skin elasticity, and recovery during periods of high physiological demand.

Women choose The Herborium because our blends are:

• Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom
• Formulated for modern pregnancy needs
• Easy to use and incorporate into daily routine
• Designed to support how you actually feel (not just stages of pregnancy)

They are created to bring traditional nourishment into a simple, modern ritual.
