Soothing Mama Bundle

***After Birth Necessities***

A woman returns from her birth journey as a Mother, and a
Soothing Mama Bundle is a great way to welcome her with
honor.  Soothing Mama Bundles are filled with organic,
handcrafted, and much needed items that will help 
Mom heal after the hard work of childbirth.

I began making Soothing Mama bundles after the birth of my son. I prepared so much throughout my pregnancy and for childbirth, but did not spend the needed time preparing for my healing postpartum. Unfortunately our society does not honor and support the new mother the way we should. Childbirth is very hard work, and most often mom's body is sore as well as she has specific after-childbirth needs. I put together these bundles in order to support new moms physically and emotionally.

The Ingredients...

Sitz Bath Basin is plastic round sitz bath that will fit any toilet. It comes with the liquid holder, tubing and hooks to hang. You can fill your sitz bath with the Soothing MaMa herbal bags and/or Epsom salt.

Organic Sitz bath herbal bags: As a new mom (or mom again) it is important for you to find some time for yourself as you begin this new chapter of your life. A Sitz Bath can be a great way to find some peace as you encourage your body's healing after the journey of childbirth. 'Soothing MaMa' Sitz Bath herbal bags are filled with all organic and wild-crafted herbs that act as an antiseptic, astringent, antibacterial agent, pain reliever, and uplift spirits through aromatherapy. The herbal bags will help soothe swollen tissue, slow bleeding, and offer relief for sore perineal muscles. Soothing Mama Sitz Bath Bags contain organic comfrey leaf, organic calendual flower, organic yarrow flower, organic plantain, wildcraft witch hazel leaf, organic marshmallow root, and sea salt witch hazel leaf, uva ursi, and rosemary. This combination of herbs is helpful for moms who are recovering from sore bottoms, vaginal tears, episiotomies, hemorrhoids, and cesarean births. Each 'Soothing Mama' herbal musling bag can be used multiple times in a a bath as well as used as a compress between baths.

WishGarden Nipple and Perineal Sale: New Mother's Salve can be used on sore nipples, perineal tear repair, or for sore tissue. It helps speedy healing through cell regeneration, protects against infection, and is safe for nursing (edible). (Also very helpful for diaper rash!) Ingrediants- Calendula flower, confrey leaf, confrey root with Vitamin in Olive oil, Coconut oil and Beeswax.

Epson Salt is made of magnesium and sulfate, both having wondeful effects on the mind and body. The properties in Epsom Salt help relieve stress by raising the levels of magnesium in the body when absorbed through the skin. The salt draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling and relaxes muscles. The magnesium helps to produce seratonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. Epson salt baths help reduce swelling, relieve pain, heal cuts, and soothe sore muscles- all associated with childbirth.

Squeeze Bottle: Helps mom with urniating and/or cleaning the perineal area during the days following childbirth when that area may be sore.

Organic Nursing Tea: Made with Organic & Wildcrafted herbs- Blessed Thistle, Nettles, Fennel Seds. Blessed Thistle stimulates the milk flow and helps restore vitality to weary mothers. Nettle supplys vitamins and minerals, mostly calcium, which helps with lactation. The Fennel seeds increase milk production and tone the digestive system; their powers are carried through the breast milk and into the child, curtailing colic and indigestion. (Recipe: Wise Woman Herbal)
