Specially formulated to promote pelvic and perineal healing, Our Doula Organics - Postpartum Sitz Soak supports postpartum recovery.
Witch hazel and lady's mantle are known for their relieving qualities bringing relief to swelling and bruising. Red rose petals and calendula support tissue and cellular regeneration resulting from grazing, tearing, episiotomy and stitches. Lavender has a cooling and mild analgesic affect on hemorrhoids and brings ease to aches and tenderness with nettle stimulating circulation.
These herbs combined also have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-viral properties.
INSTRUCTIONS
If you have a bath at home and prefer not to buy any excess items, I’ll share with you how to turn your bath into a sitz bath. If you don’t have a bath simply find yourself a bowl large enough for you to sit comfortably in and follow the instructions below.
Clean your bath with natural products to ensure it is free from residue and to minimise any risk of infection. Do this before every soak.
Fill the bath with two to three inches or warm to cool water; enough water to cover your perineum and anal areas. Add two heaped tablespoons of your postpartum recovery soak. Stir until dissolved.
Place a clean towel on the bottom of the bath before you hop in for a little extra comfort.
Check the water temperature and prepare to sit down.
You may wish to keep a warm loose fitting top on to prevent yourself from getting cold.
Make yourself as comfortable as possible and enjoy relaxing for approximately 10 minutes.
Stand up slowly and gently dab dry your perineal area with a fresh clean cotton towel. Wrap yourself in a comfortable dressing gown and rest on your side for another 20 minutes, if possible without underwear, to support the healing process.
A lot of women report feeling immense relief immediately upon submerging their perineal are into the soak. However, every woman is different. It’s best to start with one sitz soak per day to see how your body will respond. You can enjoy up to three, ten minute sitz soaks safely, per day.
