What Is NORA Pregnancy Tea?
So what is N.O.R.A tea? N.O.R.A. stands for Nettles, Oat straw, Red Raspberry leaf, and Alfalfa leaf. This fantastic pregnancy tea (any time of life tea really) is a powerful way to naturally supplement your body with nutrients through food.  Each ingredient of NORA pregnancy tea is super charged with highly nutrient dense botanical reproductive compounds. By combining the health power of nettles, oat straw, red raspberry leaves, and alfalfa, you can create an immune boosting, relaxation inducing, health drink for your every day needs.
 
NORA Tea makes getting your daily vitamin C and iron easier.
A good supply of vitamin C means your immune system is stronger and that your baby’s amniotic sac is stronger which may potentially help prevent premature rupture of the membranes.  A healthy supply of iron can help prevent additional blood loss during birth. Every birth includes some amount of blood loss, but drinking NORA pregnancy tea and getting your daily iron can help prevent loosing too much blood.
Why Drink NORA Pregnancy Tea?
“NORA tea stimulates your system to optimal health, optimizes mineral absorption, guards against anemia and maximizes the health of the liver, thereby helping to prevent many common pregnancy complaints, or minimize them.it supports the prevention of possible complications during the birth by helping to promote proper contractibility of the uterus, release of the placenta and by doing so it prevents hemorrhage and because of the health of the tissues, it reduces tears and the degree of them.”
 
When Should I Drink NORA Tea?
“Midwives recommend women begin to drink NORA Tea after the 16th week of pregnancy. They also recommend to drink a quart daily or (750 ml), as a daily habit. It is important to drink it at least 4 times a week at minimum but, preferably daily to maintain nutritive and preventative benefits.” 

Drinking NORA tea is also a wonderful idea for your postpartum journey as well because it will help you replenish blood stores you may have lost during birth as well as help you nurture your body while it is recovering.
