Herbal Afterbirth Sitz Bath dry herb soak with sea salt, 12oz.

Handmixed and a best seller for years. New mothers love this delightful natural herb bath.

Crafted from all-natural herbs and salt, this herbal bath blend is designed to support healing and comfort after childbirth. A favorite among many mothers, this gentle formula helps calm and restore perineal tissues after the hard work of birth—offering a natural, nurturing way to ease recovery.

Safe for both mom and baby, this herbal bath can also assist in the healing of newborn’s umbilical cord while creating a peaceful, aromatic environment perfect for post-birth bonding.

When brewed and added to warm bath water, it transforms the water into a rich golden-brown hue and releases a calming, earthy aroma that enhances the overall experience.

This therapeutic blend supports mother-baby bonding, offers aromatherapeutic benefits, helps reduce perineal swelling, soothes hemorrhoids, and promotes healing of any lacerations or tenderness after delivery.

12 ounces by weight.

Suggested directions:

Place 1 cup of herbs in 2 quarts of boiling water and remove from heat. Let herbs steep for 15-20 minutes. Strain and add to additional bath water in a tub being careful not to over dilute. Baby & Mom should soak for at least 20 minutes to allow healing to cord and perineum. Makes 3-4 baths.

Safety

Herbal baths are safe for use a few hours after birth through an indefinite period. Circumstances where using the herbal bath would not be safe would be in the case of a large amount of postpartum blood loss, particularly where the mother is still faint and weak; the heat of the warm bath water can cause complications (obviously if this is the situation, the mother's care provider will likely still be present and dictating care). The only other contraindication for use would be if the mother has an allergy to one of the herbs in the bath mix. The most common allergy (though still very rare) that clients have to this bath is lavender.

This is an In His Hands' special recipe which we blend ourselves. This product is not returnable.
