To enjoy a relaxing herbal soak, simply place the herbs in your muslin sachet and add to a warm bath. 
Soothing for the healing tissues - and the natural fragrances smell heavenly.
Pure bliss for the post-natal mama and the ideal gift for any new mother.
These herbs are safe for you to take your little newborn into the bath with you for some lovely skin-to-skin cuddles and boobing - just make sure someone is there to help both of you out safely, and make sure you stay well hydrated and the bath is not *too* hot.
Julie suggests the mother enjoys the bath for about 10 minutes on her own before taking her newborn in with her - by that time, the bath water temperature will be just about right.

Julie says "I suggest a minimum of 25 g for a decent bath - though to be honest, I usually use more like 50 g in my herbal baths!"

For your bath, you can simply follow the below steps:

1. Fill the muslin bag with the loose herbs.
   
2. Place in a large Pyrex bowl.
3. Pour on hot water from the kettle until the sachet in totally immersed.
4. Put a plate over the bowl as a lid, to prevent the essential oils from escaping, and steep for 15 minutes or so.
5. In the meantime - run your bath.
6. Reserve some of the herbal liquid from your bowl to fill your peri bottle and set aside. You might want to save a little more herbal liquid in another container, to re-fill your peri bottle later.
7. Add everything left in the bowl to your bath - herbal liquid, wet sachet and all.
8. Feel free to add Epsom's Salts, Sea Salt, essential oils or petals to your bath. Candles, music - why not!
9. Step in and gently stir with your body ...

You can also use these herbs to make some healing herbal liquid for a Peri-Bottle. Follow the below steps (or the above steps if you have prepared a bath);

1. Place the herbal sachet in a non-metallic glass or bowl.
2. Pour on hot water, cover and allow to steep for about 10 minutes.
3. Then pour the warm herbal liquid into your bottle.
   
   

The combination of the herbal baths plus using the peri-cleanse bottle between times greatly speeds post-natal healing.

Julie advises using the Post Natal herbs during the first week post-partum because that is when you'll most notice the therapeutic benefit. So it is good to have them ready at hand before the baby is born. They make a wonderful Mother Blessing or Baby Shower gift!
