Postpartum Sitz Bath

This delightful postpartum sitz bath has a splendid rose scent, and it feels absolutely heavenly! The perfect way to pamper and sooth mama after giving birth, this blend of organic herbs helps speeds recover, eases soreness, reduces the likelihood of infection and provides a relaxing refuge.

To use, simply brew 1 cup of herbs in 2 quarts of hot water. Allow to steep, then add to cooler water in a shallow basin or bathtub. Mama should then submerge her bottom into the warm water, breathe deeply and relax. Another option is to add infusion to a peri bottle and gently spray perineum and opening of vagina to cleanse and heal.
