Why To Buy A Herbal Postpartum Bath Kit

By Andrew Myers


Mothers are physically exhausted when they have given birth. Their bodies need time to recover and during this time it is very important for them to take good care of themselves. While mothers are focused on a new baby and taking good care of it, they often feel taking care of themselves is a lesser priority. They forget that their own health and welfare is very important if they want to take care of the baby properly. A herbal postpartum bath kit may be exactly what they need.

Mothers often come home from the hospital with medicines to help them with constipation, pads for bleeding and more. However, these products often contain harmful ingredients and chemicals that are not good for either mother or child. A mother who is breastfeeding has to be particularly concerned about what she may be passing through to her baby in the breast milk. This is an important time and it makes sense to use as many natural products containing organic ingredients as possible.

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.

Kits may even include items such as maxi-pads, adult sanitary briefs and disposable sitz baths with herbal blends to use with them. The pads are usually chlorine-free and other products are may all be certified as natural, organic materials that are additive and chemical free as well as being biodegradable.

Tinctures are also normally found in such kits. They may be those that help in the early stages of labor, like a lemon balm one. They may also help during a birth such as one that can help to prevent excess bleeding. Tinctures are often included for after the birth that help to reduce pain and inflammation.
