Make an After Birth Sitz Bath for Postpartum Recovery

hello friends,

oNE OF MY FAVORITE TOOLS TO SUPPORT AFTER BIRTH RECOVERY IS SITZ BATHS! lET’S DIVE INTO IT:

What you will need:

🎀Plastic Sitz bath basin

🧺Bath tub

How to:

💓 Place basin into the toilet or use bath tub. Fill basin or tub with  either water or herbal tea, fill your basin or bath to submerge your healing body. Rest for 5-10 minutes in water/tea. Take some good deep breaths and relax. Once you are done soaking, toss water into the toilet and flush or empty water into tub drain.

Who sitz baths can benefit:

💓 All mommas once cleared for a bath - ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR MIDWIFE BEFORE 💫

Benefits:

🌾 Herbal + floral medicinal benefits

🪻Increases circulation

🌻 Healing after birth tears

🪴Stress reliever

🌸 Reduces inflammation

🧺 Increases your overall temperature

I have found that blending a few herbs and florals, that my momma client feels comfortable using, has brought their bodies so much healing. I love to use the same herbs for foot baths, sitz baths and belly compresses. Once I know what florals and herbs my client does best with, we will use these more frequently.

Postpartum sitz baths can be so healing.  Always check in to make sure a sitz bath is appropriate for your personal healing. I always ask mommas to be cleared for a bath first before trying.

I love my body sitz bath

herbal cubes:

2 tbsp dried lavender

2 tbsp dried chamomile

1 tbsp plantain leaves

1 tbsp rose buds

🧺 Doula Basket Tip: Order your herbs before birth and have them blended with epsom salts in separate single use baggies. Keep these stored next to your sitz bath basin. Just add warm water 🤍

This is how we heal

Your healing matters
