Why To Buy A Herbal Postpartum Bath Kit

By Andrew Myers


Birth is an exhausting experience. Most mothers need to give their bodies time to recover and heal. They are also focused on caring for their new babies and this does not often leave them enough time to care for themselves too. A herbal postpartum bath kit can be kept at hand and used to provide great relief and a little bit of necessary care in such situations.

Self-care products abound and hospitals often send mothers home with products such as pads too. Unfortunately, many of these products are full of dyes, chemicals and other materials that are not healthy for mother or baby. If a mother is breastfeeding, they may pass through the breast milk to baby. If mothers can use products that are organic and natural during this sensitive period, it is much better.

A vaginal birth, even if the perineum does not tear, still leaves you feeling sore. This is when healing herbs come into their own. They are organic, free of toxins and many of them help to reduce inflammation and swelling naturally, speeding up the healing process. Kits may contain items such as a tea blend, womb soothing tinctures, hemorrhage tinctures and sitz bath blends.

Sprays are also included in these kits, that work to numb sore areas and provide soothing and healing. Organic ingredients such as pepperment and lavendar oils are just some of the natural ingredients included in such sprays. They have a natural perfume so they do not need any synthetic fragrance and they do not contain parabens or dyes.

Constipation is another problem that is often addressed in the contents of these kits. After giving birth, constipation may be a severe problem that is not addressed by eating foods high in fiber and drinking enough water. Magnesium does help with constipation but if this does not work, natural herbs are available to help with this problem.

A peri bottle or small squirt bottle is often an essential part of such kits, especially when accompanied by herbal oils used together with warm water to squeeze onto the perineum after using the bathroom. The pain may be too severe at first to wipe and the bottle can be used to spray just water onto the area to keep it clean and reduce the sting of the urine. When specific herbal oils are added to the warm water, it speeds up the healing process and reduces inflammation. The herbs should only be added some days after using just water.

Other items that may be found in these kits are different sizes of pads for different levels of bleeding, adult briefs and sitz baths that can be disposed of after use. These pads are often free from chlorine. All the materials used for products in kits like this are often chemical and additive free. They are often biodegradeable as well.

Another range of products often included in such kits is tinctures. Some of these, such as lemon balm, may help a woman to get through early labor by relaxing her. A tincture like motherwort may be used for pain after the birth, to help with anxiety and even to reduce possibility of hemorrhage.
