How do you use herbal baths for the intimate area?
Pour 0.5 deciliters of the mixture into approximately 2 liters of boiling water. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid and let sit for 30 minutes, then strain the herbs and let the decoction drain into a bowl or pot.
If you have a muslin bag, you can take 0.5 dl of the herbs and place them in the bag, tighten it well so it is closed. Place the bag directly in the bath and let it sit. Or place 0.5 dl of the herbs in the muslin bag in hot water for 30 minutes and then use the decoction.


There are three ways you can use the decoction:

Snippsauna/Sitz bath
Pour the decoction into a clean basin/bathtub. Start by only covering your lower body and do a sitz bath, and after a little while, about 5-10 minutes, you can pour more water to keep yourself warm and truly relax.

Rinse the intimate area with the herbal mixture
Pour the decoction into a clean bottle or our Plume Wash Intimate Shower which you use to rinse yourself every time you go to the toilet. Dry yourself with a clean towel.

Wash the intimate area with the herbs
Pour a little of the decoction onto a clean and soft washcloth that you hold against the intimate area for a while. We recommend organic material as it is gentler on the skin.



What is a sitz bath?
A sitz bath is a hip bath where you sit in water that covers up to about your hips. Sitz baths are good for reducing discomfort and pain in the intimate area, for example with hemorrhoids, inflammations, and other issues related to the genital and anal areas. Doing a sitz bath regularly increases blood flow and relaxes the muscles. You can either buy a special sitz bath or use a basin you have at home or a regular bathtub. Make sure that what you use is completely clean.

What is a snippsauna?
A snippsauna is similar to a sitz bath but here you are after the steam. Snippsaunas are common in many cultures and were often done in Sweden in the past, but unfortunately, few talk about it today. In a snippsauna, the herbal steam is released into the intimate area and the steam helps the intimate area to relax. Depending on which herbs are used, a snippsauna can be used to balance the menstrual cycle, support the functions of the vagina and uterus, or simply because it is relaxing and pleasant.

How often should the herbs be used?
You can use Healing Mama Postpartum Blend as early as one hour after vaginal birth if you are healthy and there are no signs of infection. It is recommended to use these herbs 1-2 times per day for 3-5 days after birth, either as a snippsauna or in one of the other ways we have described above. If you wish, you can continue using the blend as long as it feels good, but it is usually not necessary to use it for longer than 5 days.
