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.

After the birth, mothers may experience pain and irritation from the tearing of the perineum. Even if it is not torn, there is still soreness and discomfort. Healing herbs can make a great difference and mothers do not have to worry about harmful chemicals. Kits often contain items such as healing tinctures, teas and herbal blends that can be used in a sitz bath.

The type of product often included in such kits is a numbing spray, that both cools and heals. This is particularly helpful with the discomfort related to tearing of the perineum. Organic ingredients such as lavendar oil, pepperment or witchhazel may be found in such sprays. They are not synthetically fragranced or dyed and no parabens or parabens are found in them.

Another problem suffered by moms after the birth is constipation. Staying hydrated and eating high-fiber foods may help with normal constipation but after a birth, stool softeners may need to be used. The products given to mothers by the hospitals are often full of unhealthy ingredients. Sometimes magnesium alone is enough to loosen stools and this is preferable to those containing unnatural ingredients. Perhaps it's best to start with magnesium and then look for other natural alternatives if this does not help.

A squirt bottle, also called a peri bottle, is often one of the products found in kits. This bottle can be used effectively to squirt warm water onto the sore area if it is painful to wipe. It is kept clean in this way and the sting of the urine is lessened. Later, herbs in blends may be added to the water to speed up the healing and reduce inflammation.

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.
