Gentle Birth Formula: A Time-Honored Tradition, Reimagined for Today
The inspiration for Gentle Birth Formula comes from the weathered pages of an old, trusted midwifery guide. There, this blend was once prepared as a tea to tone the uterus and support the body in preparing for birth. In 2001, this nearly forgotten yet powerful herbal recipe was revived—refined with the latest research and crafted into a convenient, fast-absorbing liquid extract.
Our golden herbal formulation was designed to help your body be at its strongest when labor begins. The carefully selected herbs work to tone and strengthen the uterus, promoting a smoother, shorter, and more comfortable labor and delivery. Recovery is often quicker, and in many cases, the need for labor induction may be reduced.
Midwives, doulas, and birthing professionals around the world recommend Gentle Birth Formula—especially as a third-trimester labor prep tea. It's a trusted companion in home births and has even impressed doctors with how smoothly labor progresses for mothers who use it.
Gentle Birth Formula is now embraced by families in countries across the globe—from Canada to Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and Australia.
Add Gentle Birth Formula to your list of labor essentials—and help your body be ready when the moment arrives.

🌿 Blue Cohosh Disclaimer 🌿
Blue Cohosh, an herb categorized as a "partus preparator," has a historical usage spanning centuries in North America, particularly among Native Americans who referred to it as "squawroot" or "papoose root." Traditionally, it has been utilized to prepare the uterus for labor.
Recent studies suggest that Blue Cohosh extract may increase uterine tone, alter contraction levels, widen the range of contractions, and slightly hasten the birthing process. It's worth noting that some literature reports adverse effects on the baby, leading to hesitancy among certain midwives to use Blue Cohosh in this manner. The documented adverse effects are associated with significantly higher doses than typically found in labor preparation formulas. Additionally, there's evidence indicating that individuals with high blood pressure may experience a further increase when taking Blue Cohosh.
At Mountain Meadow Herbs, we are dedicated to offering safe, natural products that deliver results. With over two decades in business and hundreds of thousands of bottles of Gentle Birth Formula used by our customers, we have never received any reports of adverse effects related to the minimal amount of Blue Cohosh in our partus preparator. We acknowledge, however, that some individuals and professionals may prefer alternatives. Therefore, we also provide a Gentle Birth option without Blue Cohosh for those seeking an alternative approach.
Your well-being is our priority,
