Preparation: For a strong infusion, steep 5 tablespoons of herbal mixture in 1 quart of water for 2-4 hours or overnight. Strain and add to the bathtub or sitz bath basin. Add 1-2 quarts of warm water if desired. After steeping, strain the herbs and save them if you wish to reuse them for a second infusion. Alternatively, for immediate use, place the herbs in a cotton tea net or muslin bag and hang over the faucet or place directly in the tub as it fills with warm water. Soak: Whether using a sitz bath basin or a full bathtub, soak for 15-20 minutes. Ensure that the perineal area is well submerged to help increase blood flow to the area, which can reduce pain and swelling. Repeat up to 2-4 times daily for 7 to 10 days for optimal postpartum recovery. Clean your tub before using it each and every time! It may seem like an unnecessary step, but it’s essential to prevent infection. Your wounds are still healing. Peri Bottle: Use some of the leftover or additional brewed herbal infusion to fill a Peri Bottle. This can be used for a gentle rinse after using the bathroom, providing soothing relief and maintaining cleanliness without irritation. Post-Bath Care: Use leftover brewed infusion in a Peri Bottle for a gentle post-toilet rinse. Pour pre-brewed mix onto sanitary pads and freeze for soothing ice packs. Dilute and use for gentle newborn cord stump care. Additional options: Add 1 to 2 cups Epsom salt and 1/2 to 3/4 cup baking soda per gallon of water if desired. Rinse off the salts in fresh water. Note: Always clean the tub (or ask someone to do it for you) thoroughly before use to prevent infection and maintain hygiene. Taking time for sitz baths can significantly enhance your healing and mood during the postpartum period.
