Postpartum Bath Tea

Childbirth can be hard in many ways, particularly on a woman's body, and mamas need all the help they can get to relieve postpartum soreness. This herbal bath tea is a soothing blend of skin-calming herbs & flowers, responsibly wildcrafted & grown in the Sage & Thistle urban garden, each of which promotes healthy skin regeneration and provides relief from swelling & soreness. Brew tea, then add to sitz bath, regular bath, and use to make soothing frozen postpartum pads. 

For external use only -- do not ingest!

Consult your doctor or midwife before use, especially after C-section. 

Directions for use:  Steep 1/4-1/2 cup of herbs in 1L of boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, and add to sitz bath, regular bath, or cool completely and use to make frozen pads. (Optional: add alcohol-free Witch Hazel to provide even more relief!)
