- COOLING RELIEF: Need some soothing peri care? Organic Herbal Sitz Bath is packed in easy-to-use, individual herbal sachets, each one is perfect for one use. The brewed herbal infusion can be used as a sitz bath or to make postpartum padsicles (kind of like making tea for your nethers!).
- NO WORRISOME CHEMICALS: You won’t find propylene glycol, artificial preservatives or fragrance because no one wants those chemicals near their tender bits. Herbal compresses are filled with organic herbs traditionally used for perineal discomfort during pregnancy or after childbirth.
- POSTPARTUM ESSENTIAL: Pair with Earth Mama's Organic Perineal Balm and Herbal Perineal Spray, AKA the Take Care Down There Trifecta! It's the kind of combo that'll have your hemorrhoid or episiotomy be all, "YES, thank you!" Be strong. You can do it!
- TIPS FROM MOMMA: Postpartum padsicles are a thing, and they’re great! Get crafty and save the remaining herbal sitz bath liquid, pour onto a regular postpartum pad, and freeze it for a clever little perineal ice pack. Trust us – it’s one of life’s secret little wins.
- HOW TO USE: Lay herbal pad in a shallow bowl and cover with boiling water. Steep for approx. 5 min., and let cool. Very gently drain extra liquid from pad, leaving it moist but not soaking. Be gentle and don’t squeeze! The herbal pads are fragile and can burst. Cool in the fridge and gently apply moist pad directly to perineum. Ahhhhh!

I found that incontinent pads soaked with witch hazel and then frozen really helped to heal me up quickly.
Also, here are some products I found on Amazon that can help with perineal healing.
You can DIY your own by growing/wildcrafting/buying your own bulk herbs, or buy one of these pre-mixed options.

If you're birthing at home, have your midwife/doula/mom/etc. bring a big spaghetti pot of water to a boil. Once it's boiled, turned off the heat and dump in a cup or two of the herbal mix, and let it steep until a majority of the herbs sink to the bottom of the pot. Strain it and you're ready to go! You can add some to your peri rinse bottle, dip some pads in it for herbal pad-cicles/ice packs, and use any left over to soak in the tub after a day or so postpartum. If you're planning a hospital birth, you can always cook this up ahead of time and bring some in your birth bag.
I had both for both postpartum times I've been through.
After my first, I mainly used tucks layered over pads, and earth mama bottom spray.
After my second, I mainly used Depends and I was given a bottle of Belly Bliss Niperi Wash and WOW I'll be buying that for any baby shower I ever go to after this. That stuff helped immensely with my tear, but it also can be used on your nipples, and I ended up not even needing to use any sort of nipple cream or salve as long as I used that spray at least every other nursing session, and by a week postpartum I only needed it for my nipples very rarely if baby had stayed latched an especially long time. The second time I couldn't get the Earth Mama bottom spray in time and I didn't know yet if I'd like the Niperi Spray, so I got Earth Mama Postpartum Bath Herbs and I ended up really liking that for sitz baths, and I also would sometimes steep the herbs in a bowl and use the liquid in peri bottles as a rinse/spray.
