This is a special collection of beautiful herbs to support our wombs and the vaginal tissues of the pelvic bowl.
These herbs can be used to create an herbal sitz bath, vaginal steam, steam session on a steam seat at home, yoni steam or herbal peri bottle wash.
Each purchase will include an introduction to each herb used.
Please be in touch with any specific questions~
Vaginal Steams:
By adding boiling water to these herbs and sitting or hovering over the steam, the healing properties of the herbs are delivered to our tissues, tendons and cores.
Bringing warmth and the medicinal herbs to the uterus and pelvic bowl, vaginal tissue and pelvic organs can help soften and heal scar tissue, clanse and tone the uterus, increase circulation, support the regulation of hormones, assist the healing of hemorrhoids, offer gratitude for our bodies, feel grounded and nourished, release emotions and reduce the risk of infection.
*If you are unsure about steaming, you can always consult your midwife or a vaginal steam practitioner. These herbs can also be steeped into a nourishing tea to drink in the postpartum as well.
Try 1 cup of these dried herbs with up to 1 gallon of boiling water.
There are many instructions and guides for positions and configurations for vaginal steams online, but I have found success in placing a large bowl with the herbs in the toilet, covering myself from the waist down with a blanket to keep the heat in, and steeping myself for about 20 minutes to feel divine and uncomplicated. But, explore and experiment- this is your unique body and journey!
All herbs included are organic and free of chemicals, oils and preservatives.
Vaginal Steam Herbs
These herbs can be steeped in a shallow basin, or sitz bath, which can be stuck in a toilet seat and soaked in postpartum. Sitz baths are generally considered to be safe if there was vaginal tearing or stitching at the birth. Sitz baths are great ways to tend to a mother in the first few days postpartum, whereas vaginal steams are generally advised once the heavy bleeding has slowed postpartum.
Try 1 cup of herbs to up to 1 gallon of water. Strain out the herbs and pour into the sitz bath. Optional: add a pinch of salt to the solution. Invite mother to sit for about 20 minutes, as long as she (and her baby) are comfortable and warm.
You can also brew these herbs like a cup of tea, with less water, and fill up a peri bottle and squirt directly onto the tissues. This same solution can be added to a postpartum pad as well, and the liquid applied directly to the perineum.
Always check in with yourself and your midwife before embarking on a postpartum steaming journey. There are many contraindications, tips and tricks for these rituals. Please be in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
