Postpartum / Sitz Bath

This is an alternative to the yoni steam method which is specifically helpful to women immediately after childbirth in cases of tissue damage and tearing.

The herbs are highly active in promoting healing and recovery and should form part of a daily postpartum routine. You can use them in a sitz bath just for your vulva and perineal area or add to your normal bath for a whole body deep soak with you and your baby.

This blend can also be used after any birth such as miscarriage or abortion.  

Method:

1. Steep 50g of herbs in 2 litres of boiled water for 10-15 minutes.
2. Strain and allow to cool
3. Apply as a wash/douche using a jug or syringe

Alternatively:

Sit with your yoni submerged in a large basin of the warm mixture for 10 minutes

Or you can add 75g herbs (half a pack) to your bath.
