Postpartum Care and Recovery Set | Perineal Spray & Sitz Bath

A Perfect Postpartum Pairing
Our Perineal Spray and Herbal Sitz Bath were lovingly formulated to work hand-in-hand—offering both immediate relief and long-lasting support for the tender days after birth.

• The Herbal Sitz Bath: Gently infuses your warm healing waters with traditional midwives' herbs that actively reduce pelvic swelling, increase restorative micro-circulation to the pelvic floor, and cleanse vulnerable tissues.
• The Perineal Spray: Followed by a crisp, non-greasy, no-touch cloud of cooling comfort to immediately calm surface burning, itching, and structural irritation during bathroom transitions and pad changes.

The Postnatal Restoration Protocols

1. The Sacred Sitz Bath Ritual

• The Infusion: Place a generous handful of the Herbal Sitz Bath blend into your reusable cotton steeping bag and tie it securely. Steep the bag in boiling water for 10–15 minutes, treating it like a large, concentrated pot of maternal tea.
• The Bath: Pour this rich, dark botanical tea—along with the dissolved Dead Sea salts—directly into your warm, shallow sitz bath basin or a full tub.
• The Soak: Settle your hips into the water and soak for 15–20 minutes, breathing deeply. Alternative tip: You can transfer this cooled liquid into a peri bottle for soothing rinses, or pour it onto postpartum maxi pads and freeze them to create ultra-cooling "padsicles."

2. The No-Touch Perineal Spray Ritual

• The Application: Shake the bottle thoroughly to activate the botanical matrix. Mist generously over the perineal area after using the restroom, following your peri-bottle rinse, or directly onto clean postpartum pads.
• The Sensation: Allow the mist to air-dry briefly to seal in the soothing botanical barrier. Pro-Tip: Store your spray bottle in the refrigerator for an extra-crisp, intensely cooling wave of structural relief.

The Hero Botanicals & Tissue-Knitting Allies

• Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel & Aloe Vera: The soothing foundation of our cooling mist. They work in tandem to instantly tighten overstretched tissue barriers, pull localized heat out of the skin, and soothe surface nerve endings without causing dryness or stinging.
• Organic Calendula, Comfrey & Yarrow: A heavy-hitting botanical triad infused into the sitz soak, celebrated in traditional postpartum care for their rapid tissue-repair properties, vascular-toning capabilities, and exceptional ability to reduce perineal puffiness.
• Organic Shepherd's Purse & Red Raspberry Leaf: Master uterine and pelvic tonics that support local cellular vitality, cleanse the perineal field, and provide comforting astringent properties to delicate tissues.
• Dead Sea Salt: A clean, mineral-rich crystalline matrix overflowing with magnesium and trace minerals that detoxifies, relaxes tight pelvic floor muscles, and cleanses without disrupting your delicate postpartum microbiome.

• Our Clean Preservation Integrity: At Bee Balm and Ash, your well-being always comes first—we believe in beauty rituals that are both sacred and sound. We intentionally include Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, a fully natural, skin-loving preservative system derived from radishes fermented with kimchi bacteria. This keeps your water-based perineal spray completely shelf-stable, protecting your recovery ritual from harmful mold, yeast, and bacterial growth. While most handmade brands skip this crucial safety step, we ensure your medicine is completely pristine.
