Herbal Sitz Bath

An Organic Herbal Soak for Postpartum Perineal Recovery, Hemorrhoid Relief & Gentle Healing

The postpartum body deserves the same level of care and intention we give to pregnancy, and the perineum especially. Whether you've experienced tearing, an episiotomy, hemorrhoids, or simply the general soreness that comes after birth, a warm herbal sitz bath is one of the oldest, most effective, and most comforting tools for supporting healing in those tender early days. Earth Mama's Herbal Sitz Bath combines organic yarrow, plantain, and calendula with oatmeal, sea salt, and wild-harvested witch hazel in a sachet that's simple to brew, gentle enough for the most sensitive tissue, and free from anything that doesn't belong anywhere near that area. 

Key Ingredients & What They Do

• Yarrow (Achillea millefolium): A classical wound-healing herb with astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Yarrow tones and tightens tissue, helps slow minor bleeding, and supports the body's natural repair process in damaged or inflamed perineal tissue
• Plantain Leaf (Plantago major): One of the most versatile and effective healing botanicals in Western herbalism. Plantain is deeply soothing to irritated, inflamed, and torn tissue, with anti-inflammatory and drawing properties that help reduce swelling and support cellular repair
• Calendula Flower (Calendula officinalis): A beloved skin-healing herb that reduces inflammation, soothes soreness, supports the growth of healthy new tissue, and provides gentle antimicrobial protection. A classic postpartum herb for a reason
• Witch Hazel Leaf (Hamamelis virginiana, wild-harvested): A powerful astringent that reduces swelling, tones inflamed tissue, and provides immediate relief from hemorrhoid discomfort and perineal soreness. A cornerstone herb for postpartum perineal care
• Oatmeal (Avena sativa): Colloidal oatmeal soothes and calms irritated, inflamed skin, reducing itching and discomfort while supporting the skin barrier during healing
• Sea Salt: A natural antiseptic and drawing agent that supports tissue cleansing, reduces swelling, and creates a mildly saline environment that supports wound healing
