Postpartum perineal pain can seriously sting. Luckily, a sitz bath can help bring some relief.
Soaking your perineum in a warm bath (or sitz bath) several times a day with Epsom salts will reduce swelling, discourage infection and encourage healing. This is also helpful for hemorrhoids.
Bath salts are naturally relaxing, helping new moms ease the tension they may be feeling as they break into this soothing new routine. It gives moms a little time to themselves, as the essential oils work to invoke feelings of upliftment, relaxation, invigoration, clarity, and grounding
The great thing about sitz baths is that not only do they have physiological benefits to help your body recover, but they're practical for your day-to-day life as a mum.
Studies show that soaking the perineum in the warm water of a sitz bath promotes effective wound healing due to increased blood circulation and reduced inflammation.
