Postpartum Herbal Bath Preparation - Mother & Newborn

Mother

Traditionally used postpartum to prevent 'wind' going into your body that can make you fall ill as your immune system has been compromised after the stresses placed on your body post birth.

A blend of natural herbs such as Mugwort (Ai Ye) supports you body by stimulating blood circulation, removing 'wind' from the body, and strengthening your muscles and joints, while relieving mild swelling and pains from your childbirth. The blend is suitable for both natural and c-section birthing methods.

You may still shower after a herbal bath. If you do not have a bath tub, you can use a pail and apply onto the body as a sponge wash.
