Place 1/3 of a cup of the healing salts in the reusable bath tea bag provided.

Let steep in a small amount of boiling water in the bath for at least 10 minutes to let the herbs infuse.

Fill bath water to desired temperature and water level before you hop in.

The shallower the bath, the more potent the brew will be. You can use a special sitz bath for this, or your normal bath.

Relax and let the healing ritual bath do its magic. Safe for baba too!

Q: Can I use this after a caesarean?

A: Yes — while you won’t be using the sitz bath or peri rinse for a perineal wound, a full herbal bath soak is deeply beneficial after a caesarean. The magnesium, lavender and calendula support whole-body recovery, muscle relief and emotional grounding. Wait until your incision is sufficiently healed and your midwife or doctor has given you the go-ahead for baths.

Q: When can I start using it after birth?

A: You can begin using a peri rinse or cooling pads from day one. For a full sitz bath or herbal bath, most mothers start from day 2–3 onwards. Always follow your midwife’s guidance.

Q: How many uses do I get per bag?

A: Each 500g bag gives approximately 8–10 uses. A full bath uses more than a sitz bath, so if you’re primarily using it as a sitz bath you’ll get closer to 12–15 uses.

Q: Can I use this during pregnancy?

A: We recommend this specifically for postpartum use. If you’d like to use it during pregnancy for general relaxation, please consult your midwife first as some of the astringent herbs are best saved for after birth.
