Postpartum Herb Bath Recipe

This herb bath is amazing when you have just given birth! I cannot recommend it highly enough! With each of my births, I have the herbs brewed ahead of time, so that as soon as we cut the cord, I can get in the herb bath and relax with baby. It is so soothing of all the sore spots, and helps heal baby's cord too. If you have a hospital birth, you may not be able to hop in immediately after the birth, but even if you do it after you get home, it will be totally worth it. I like to do these herb baths every day for about the first week postpartum.


HINT: If you are not about to give birth yourself, consider making an herb bath for a friend who is! I have made these for many friends, and believe me, she will thank you for it!
Here is the recipe:
1/2 c. comfrey
1/2 c. shepherd's purse
1/2 c. uva ursi
Put all of the above into an old sock and tie it off with a rubberband.
Bring some water to a fuzzy boil (not a rolling boil).
Add sock. (water may froth.)
Cover kettle and heat for 10 minutes at a low, fuzzy boil to make brew.
Turn off heat.
Remove one cup of the brew from kettle and pour it into the blender or food processor.
Add one whole garlic bulb. (NOT just one clove; the whole bulb. No need to peel it or anything.)
Cover blender and whir mixture.
Strain mixture from blender back into the kettle (to remove garlic peelings)
Add 1/4 c sea salt
Add contents of kettle into clean bathtub for mama and baby to soak in. :)
Tip: Babies love to bathe with mama. If your baby fusses, just put his ears under the water. It sounds like the womb and he will be immediately calm - it's amazing!
Also, the sock containing the herbs can be used as a compress to heal mama's sore areas.
These loose herbs can be ordered online from a number of places and are not too expensive. Just google it. :)

  1. Hello. I am Tosin. I wish to narrate how I was permanently healed from Diabetes type 2 via a naturopathic herbal method.

    My mom had suffered from diabetes Mellitus and which had caused her early passing when I was a toddler. I have also lived to have suffered, unknown, from this terrible sickness in my youth age, and of which has resulted in several health complications I had experienced in my lifetime. I was thus, placed on an insulin medication as I also had maintained a healthy diet and regular exercises. This mode of treatment had persisted a long time without any rightful hope for a healthy personality in the future. I was dying piecemeal, and of all qualities, I had desired for was to become a normal person again. I prayed and never had stopped believing Providence was preparing better opportunities on my behalf.

    It was during my endless search for a positive remedy for my condition that I had stumbled upon the marvelous herbal works of Dr. Utu Herbal Cure and his everlasting motive in eliminating all viral diseases naturally. This African herbalist whom I had realized was also a natural healer and activist of the herbal works of his ancient fathers. I was very relieved at receiving this piece of information as I was very tempted to contact this African natural healer Dr. Utu about the betterment of my condition. I had given this herbal doctor every piece of information he had needed to save my life and I was highly marveled at his generosity in wanting to help me attain a normal life again. I had followed his herbal recommendations and after a few weeks, I had soon started seeing good changes in my health life. It was too real to be true, but it was as when I was later diagnosed to be un-diabetic.

    This miraculous change in my health life had occurred a few months ago and I am very much as pleased to share this piece of information every moment because it means so much to me as to be healthy again, and I know inwardly, that it would also mean so much to other people who happen to be suffering from this disease and would also prefer a normal life too. I wish to use this message to give confidence to those who would by chance happen to come across this information to be hopeful and find a confidant like Dr. Utu in overcoming their health problems. You can be healthy today for a healthier tomorrow by reaching this good herbal doctor for help and assistance. I would also encourage this piece of information to be shared among friends and loved ones to create a positive awareness.
