Organic Herbal Sitz Bath

Take care “down there” (aka your hemorrhoids, post-labor perineum, or episiotomy) with Earth Mama's herbal sitz bath compresses filled with organic herbs traditionally used to soothe and comfort “down there” during pregnancy, after childbirth, or anytime you need a little TLC in that department. Packed in easy-to-use, individual herbal sachets, each one is perfect for one use.

The herbal sitz bath compresses can be cooled and gently “tucked” to help ease those pretty places, or use the brewed infusion to make postpartum padsicles or a sitz bath.

Sitz Bath: A How-To

To make a sitz bath for hemorrhoids, post-labor perineum issues, or episiotomy, you'll need a sitz bath tub, which is usually found in the “home health care” section of your local drug store. Fill the sitz bath tub with lukewarm brewed herbal sitz bath solution, then soak your "down there" parts for about 15 minutes.

If you want to create a soothing compress, lay the herbal sitz bath 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. Ahhhhhhh.

But wait! Postpartum padsicles are a thing, and they’re great: get crafty and use the healing herbally goodness in another way. Save the remaining 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.
