Product Overview
A ceremonial placenta care blend crafted for families choosing lotus birth. These lotus birth herbs preserve and protect the placenta during the natural drying process, supporting a peaceful, unhurried transition into the world. Homegrown botanicals with traditional antimicrobial properties reduce moisture and odor while honoring the sacred connection between baby and their first source of nourishment.
Rooted in yarrow, sage, and uva ursi, this blend draws on centuries of plant wisdom to support the lotus birth practice. Witch hazel leaf offers gentle astringent support, while lavender, rose, calendula, chamomile, cornflower, and frankincense create a reverent aromatic profile that transforms this care into true ceremony. Lotus leaf honors the ritual itself. Every handful carries the integrity of the forest and the intention of a slow, honored welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are lotus birth herbs used for?
Lotus birth herbs are sprinkled onto the placenta during a lotus birth ceremony, where the umbilical cord is left uncut until it releases naturally. The blend supports natural drying, reduces moisture and odor, and offers antimicrobial protection through herbs like yarrow, sage, and uva ursi.
How do I apply the lotus birth herbs?
After birth, gently clean the placenta and pat it dry. Sprinkle a light layer of the herbal blend directly onto the placenta and umbilical cord. Reapply over the first few days as needed to support natural drying and minimize moisture and odor. Can be used alone or alongside natural salt.
How much of the herbal blend do I need?
A 1 oz bag is typically sufficient for a standard lotus birth ceremony lasting 3-7 days. A 1.5 oz bag provides extra coverage for longer ceremonies. A 2 oz bag is ideal for larger placentas or extended drying periods. Most families use approximately one tablespoon per application.
Are these herbs safe for the baby?
The herbs are applied externally to the placenta, not directly to the baby. However, always consult your healthcare provider or midwife before use, especially if you have any concerns about sensitivities or specific birth circumstances.
How long does one bag last?
A 1 oz bag typically lasts through a standard lotus birth ceremony of 3-7 days with regular reapplication. A 1.5 oz bag extends coverage for longer ceremonies. A 2 oz bag lasts through extended ceremonies or can be divided across multiple uses. Store any unused portion sealed in a cool, dry place.
