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.

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.

During the birth, the perineum may tear, causing pain after the birth. Even if it does not tear, there is still a feeling of soreness. Healing herbs can do much to address this problem. They are free of chemicals and toxins. Many of them can work wonders when it comes to issues like inflammation and swelling. Kits often include tea blends, soothing tinctures herbal oils that are known to help with healing.

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.

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.
