"When the boys turned 1, I slipped into postpartum depression that sent me to the emergency room for a night. My doctors prescribed me an SSRI. a mood stabilizer, and mandatory therapy. I've been looking for something to help me get off of pharmaceuticals for over a year now. The MOOD elixir from Fourth Family has been a wonderful alternative. This MOOD elixir works!" - Andy: 911 operator & solo mother of 2 year-old twin boys
"As I unpack the postpartum depression I dealt with years ago, I continuously reach for my bottle of Mood. This is potent support in a delicious and easy application. It's like a hug in a bottle. If you've just had a baby, this is for you. If your baby is a year old, this is for you. If your babies are all grown up, this is for you. Motherhood doesn't stop and the support along the way shouldn't either. Take Mood with you wherever you are on your journey and lean into the hug that awaits you." - Hannah: Mother of 4 & Postpartum Doula
"After incorporating Postpartum MOOD into my morning ritual for a month now I can definitely feel a difference! I forgot one day to add it to my water bottle and I could not figure out why I felt so off all day. 💡 I'll never make that mistake again!! Postpartum MOOD is an absolute must have!!" - Marsha: Mom of two & CEO of Cater To Mom
"As a practicing home herbalist of 15 years, I was so impressed how Fourth Family was able to blend a Motherwort based tincture into a sweet treat for my nerves and soul. When I feel stretched between being a mama, activist and business owner I can sometimes get too busy to remember my own self care. This is when I reach for Fourth Family's Postpartum MOOD Herbal Extract. It helps ground me and remember to tend to myself so I can tend to all the other gardens in my life." - Anna
"I am so thankful for the magic of Fourth Family's herbal support - especially when I feel shifts in my hormones and want to tame that tiger before it bites someone. This tincture really works! I am able to remain in the headspace I choose without being swept up in the cyclone of drama me hormones want me to swim in. Mys husband is thankful too." 😉 - Coco: Bonus mama of twins
