Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are Confinement herbs for?
Confinement herbs are traditional herbal blends used after childbirth to support postpartum recovery, improve circulation, and restore energy. SOUPER GOODNESS soups turn these time-honoured herbs into convenient daily soups, gently nourishing new mothers through each stage of healing.
Q2: When can I start taking the confinement herbs?
You can start taking Souper Goodness confinement soups from the first week after giving birth. Our soups are designed in 4 stages to support postpartum recovery, starting with gentle cleansing blends and gradually moving to warming, nourishing recipes that restore strength and vitality.​
​
Q3: How do I cook the Confinement herbs?
To prepare your SOUPER GOODNESS soups, rinse the herbs and simmer them with 1.5–2L of water and your choice of protein for 1.5–2 hours. You can also use a slow cooker for convenience. Enjoy each soup warm as a nourishing part of your postpartum recovery routine.
​​
Q4: What should I eat during postpartum recovery?
Focus on a balanced diet with lean protein, whole grains, vegetables and fruits. SOUPER GOODNESS soups complement your meals by providing herbal nutrition specifically formulated for new mothers, supporting energy, circulation, and overall recovery.
​
Q5: Are Confinement herbs safe while breastfeeding?
Yes. They are safe and nourishing, supporting energy and recovery. For best digestion and baby’s comfort, drink soups 2–3 hours before feeding. However, please note that every mum and baby reacts differently. When in doubt, always consult your healthcare professional before adding new herbs while breastfeeding.
Q4: Do your soups contain preservatives or additives?
No. Our herbal packs are 100% natural, free from preservatives, sulphur, or artificial additives.
Q6: Can I enjoy your soups even if I’m not in confinement?
Absolutely! While specially designed for new mums, we also offer 5-Day Nourishing Soup selections — light, flavourful, and perfect for boosting daily wellness, energy, and immunity.
Q7: Where are your herbs and delicacies sourced?
We work with trusted suppliers locally and across Asia. Every herb, bird’s nest, and dried seafood is carefully selected and quality-checked to ensure authenticity, safety, and freshness.
Q8: How should I store the soup packs?
Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Once opened, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Q9: Why alternate between warm and neutral soups?
In traditional confinement care, balance is key. Only “warm” herbs may cause excess heat, while neutral blends gently reset the body. Our 28-day plan alternates both types to create a natural recovery rhythm.
Q10: Do you deliver across Australia?
Yes. We ship nationwide. Orders over $200 enjoy free shipping to major cities and metro areas. Regional and remote areas may incur a small delivery fee.
Q11: How can I improve sleep and energy while recovering?
Establishing a daily routine, taking short naps, and eating nourishing meals are essential for postpartum recovery. SOUPER GOODNESS soups are crafted to gently restore energy, support overall wellness, and help new mothers feel revitalized throughout the day.
Q12: How is SOUPER GOODNESS different from other brands?
We’re more than just a supplier — SOUPER GOODNESS is built on 10+ years of family heritage. Every blend is created with care, following time-honoured recipes and modern safety standards. Our 28-Day Confinement Soup is one-of-a-kind, crafted for authentic balance, convenience, and nourishment.
Q13: How long does postpartum recovery take?
Every mother’s journey is unique. While the standard postpartum check-up is around six weeks, full recovery—including energy levels, circulation, and hormonal balance—can take several months. Daily nourishment with SOUPER GOODNESS soups can help support this process.
​
Q14: What makes your 28-Day Confinement Soup special?
It’s carefully designed with 28 unique daily blends — alternating warm and neutral herbs to provide steady nourishment without overheating the body. This makes it one of the most comprehensive confinement programs available.
Q15: Do the soups taste bitter?
Not at all. Unlike many strong herbal soups, ours are balanced for both flavour and nourishment. They have a naturally light, comforting taste with gentle herbal notes — many mums enjoy them without extra seasoning.
