Post Partum Herbal Sitz Bath

Sitz baths (or hip bath) are used to help cleanse the perineum and increase blood flow to the pelvic area after childbirth in order to decrease inflammation and promote tissue healing.  A sitz bath can be done in a small tub dedicated to that purpose or just in a regular tub filled only with enough warm water to cover perineum or up to the level of the hips.

This herbal blend includes plants that are anti-microbial, decrease inflammation, and sooth irritated tissues.  It also smells beautiful!

Steep 1/2 cup in 1 quart of water for 30 minutes.  Strain and add with warm water to a sitz bath. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes.  For external use only!

2 Cups per bag.  1/2 cup per Sitz bath.  4  Sitz baths per bag

Not for use during healing of deep tissue tears, for example, through the vaginal muscle wall.  Please contact me for a personalized blend without comfrey or uva ursi.
