A warm sitz bath can be a peaceful moment of self-care amidst the beautiful chaos of new motherhood. Our Afterbirth Sitz Bath Postpartum Herbal Soak is an effective comforting blend that is designed to help you heal and recover, this blend of organic herbs provides gentle relief and promotes perineal comfort.
- Organic Uva Ursi leaf: This herb is known for its astringent, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. It can help to tone and tighten tissues, which is beneficial for reducing swelling and discomfort. Its antiseptic qualities may also help to prevent infection.
- Organic Yarrow aerials: Yarrow has been used for centuries to support wound healing. It is an astringent and can help to reduce bleeding and promote the healing of tears or episiotomy sites. It also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help prevent infection and reduce swelling.
- Organic Sage leaf: Sage is often included in herbal preparations for its soothing and cleansing properties. It can help to calm and comfort sore, tender tissues and has a pleasant, calming aroma.
- Organic Lavender flower: Lavender is a well-known calming herb, and its benefits go beyond its soothing scent. It has anti-inflammatory and mild antiseptic properties that can help to reduce discomfort, soothe irritation, and promote healing in the perineal area.
- Organic Plantain leaf: Not to be confused with the banana-like fruit, this common weed is a powerful healing herb. It is rich in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and is particularly soothing for itchy skin and irritation. It helps to support the healing of minor tears and abrasions.
- Organic Calendula flower: Often called "the golden healer," calendula is a staple in postpartum care due to its anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties. It is excellent for soothing sore, inflamed tissues, reducing swelling, and stimulating tissue regeneration to speed up the healing of tears, cuts, or stitches.
- Organic Gotu Kola aerials: Gotu Kola is revered in traditional medicine for its ability to support skin health and promote wound healing. It contains compounds that can stimulate collagen production, which is essential for repairing and regenerating damaged skin and tissue. This can be especially helpful for healing tears and helping to minimize scarring. It also has anti-inflammatory benefits to reduce swelling and discomfort.
