Congratulations, Mama! You’ve just accomplished something incredible, and now it’s time to shift the focus back to you, specifically, your recovery.
That’s where the magic of a sitz bath comes in. This gentle, ancient remedy is recommended by midwives and doctors alike for relieving tenderness and discomfort after birth.
Here is your simple guide to using our Postpartum Sitz Bath Salt for natural and soothing recovery.
What is a Sitz Bath and Why Do I Need One?
A sitz bath involves soaking just your hips and bottom in warm water for a short period. It’s a dedicated moment to encourage healing and provide immediate relief from soreness, swelling, and stitches.
Think of it as a comforting, warm hug for the areas that need it most.
Our Postpartum Sitz Bath Salt is specially formulated with ingredients chosen for their gentle, yet powerful, soothing properties:
-
Epsom Salt: Helps reduce swelling and relaxes strained muscles.
-
Sea Salt: Known for its cleansing and healing qualities.
-
Natural Botanicals: Herbs and oils that help calm inflammation and provide a gentle, relaxing scent (without harsh chemicals).
The Simple, Soothing 3 Step Ritual
The goal here is not complicated! It's about setting aside 15-20 minutes to care for yourself.
-
Prep the Tub (or Basin): You can use a regular bathtub or a small sitz bath basin that fits over your toilet (often provided by the hospital). Fill it with warm (not hot) water, enough to cover your hips.
-
Add the Salt: Sprinkle 1/2 cups or 125 grams of the Postpartum Sitz Bath Salt into the water and swirl it around until it dissolves. Watch the beautiful botanicals bloom!
-
Soak: Slowly sit down and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Bring a book, a podcast, or simply close your eyes. This is your time to breathe and let the salt do the work.
Pro-Tip: Try to do this ritual once or twice a day during the first week or two after delivery. Consistency is key to gentle, effective healing.
