Postpartum Herbal Sitz Bath

Herbal Sitz Bath:
Formulated in the spirit of traditional herbal care, this sitz bath blend draws on time-honored botanicals known for their vulnerary, astringent, and antimicrobial actions. Used during the postpartum window, it offers gentle support for tissue repair, inflammation, and pelvic tone—an essential ally for the body’s natural healing process.

Herbal Healing:
Each herb in this blend is thoughtfully chosen for its long history of postpartum care—offering gentle support for tissue comfort, soothing inflammation, and maintaining herbal cleanliness during recovery. Marshmallow leaf, oatstraw, and calendula bring deep nourishment and softness, while yarrow, plantain, comfrey, and self-heal traditionally support tender tissues. Dandelion leaf adds gentle cleansing support, and a touch of lavender offers calm and comfort. This sitz bath is a grounding, nurturing ritual—like a warm herbal embrace for the postpartum body.

Note:
This formula contains no added salts, as they are not necessary for effectiveness—but feel free to add mineral-rich salts to your bath water if desired.

Homegrown with Care:
The comfrey leaf, roses, lavender, and calendula in this blend were lovingly grown in our own pesticide-free garden. Each batch is handcrafted in small quantities with deep respect for postpartum recovery and the healing power of plants.

A Note on the Plantain and Dandelion Leaf:
Harvested with care from the quiet edges of our family’s land, these plantain leaves are a time-honored remedy for soothing and restoring the skin. Wildcrafted in harmony with the seasons, only what was needed was gathered, leaving plenty for the pollinators and the land to thrive. Their presence in this blend is a gentle offering of comfort, carrying the ancient wisdom of the wild into your healing ritual.

We grow and forage many of our herbs and plants ourselves, and when we can’t, we source organic and sustainably harvested botanicals from trusted partners.

Sacred Simplicity:
Packaged in a resealable kraft bag with a reusable organic cotton muslin bag for easy brewing and soaking.

Use Instructions:
Add 1/2–1 cup of herbs to the included cotton bag and place into a bowl or basin of just-boiled water. Cover and steep for 10–20 minutes. Allow to cool to a safe temperature, then use as a sitz bath or pour into a shallow tub. You may also add the tea to running bath water for a gentle herbal soak.

The estimated amount of soaks is based on using about 3/4 cups of herbs per soak.

My favorite way to enjoy this sitz bath after birth is to first pour into the bathtub with a little water and soak for as long as I feel comfortable then fill the tub all the way with warm water and enjoy a nice herbal soak for my whole body!

Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve freshness.
