If you’re an earthy mama to be, do we have some little goodies from Earth Mama Angel Baby to help you before and after delivery of your little bundle of joy.
For pregnancy, there’s
Heartburn Tea made with organic herbs like marshmallow root and chamomile to soothe and settle heartburn. Â Easy to swallow relief indeed.
For breastfeeding, there’s
Milkmaid Tea, E.M.A.B.’s most popular item! Â It helps encourage milk production, naturally. Â Can you say galactagogue? Â (A fancy word for a milk-producing food.) Â It’s totally organic and totally works.
For weaning, when the day comes that you don’t need so much of that milk anymore, you can switch teas and try
No More Milk Tea. Â The secret organic ingredients in this one have the opposite effect, telling your body to ease up.
Be sure to check out the Earth Mama
Reading Room as well for a plethora of articles on all things earthy mama, from breastfeeding to herbs to use and avoid to phthalates.

Because towels come into intimately close contact with our skin and we spend (hopefully) eight hours a night wrapped in our sheets, it’s super important that they’re made of healthy stuff.
Not only that, but if we use pesticide-laden sheets and towels, our comfort depends on pounds of pesticide that harm people and our planet.
We’ve got some alternatives to help you shower and sleep sustainably from here on out.
Bamboo Moon towels are made of that fast-growing fiber that’s anti-microbial and hypoallergenic while being 60% more absorbent than Egyptian cotton. Â You get the benefit of a low-impact alternative that also boasts incredible softness and durability. Â If you haven’t yet felt bamboo, you’ll be amazed at how much it feels like silk.
Under the Canopy sheets 100% organic 250 thread count sheets are luxurious while being mindfully made. Â You rest assured nothing harsh in their manufacture will affect you or where they came from.
Your bathroom and bedroom will welcome the change.

If you’re interested in raising kids who are healthy and concerned about the environment, you may just be on the path to raising an EcoKid.Â
We’ve got a book of the same name in the store in our sustainable kids section.  EcoKids by Dan Chiras can help you in the process of raising such a youngster.
It’s a positive, inspiring look at fostering empathy and eco-principles in children while they connect to nature. Taking care of kids and teaching them to take care of themselves and the planet can have an enormous payoff for us all.
