your herbal sitz bath is a blend of herbs that promote healing and tissue repair, prevent infection, & soothe irritation and reduce inflammation

To prepare as a Sitz bath:

Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of herbs to 2 quarts of just boiled water in a glass or non-reactive metal pot or jar. Cover and steep herbs for at least 20 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Strain out the herbs (which can be reserved and used again) and add the liquid to your Sitz bath vessel. I like this one or this one. You can adjust the temperature and volume of the herbal infusion by adding hot or cold water so that liquid is soothing and warm (please be careful not to scald yourself!) and the basin is full enough so that your perineum is sufficiently covered. Soak for about 20 minutes or until the liquid begins to get cold. When done, dispose of the liquid.

To reuse the herbs from this brew batch, they can be stored in the fridge for a couple days or resteeped immediately. You can use the second brewing in another Sitz bath or to fill your peri bottle. The liquid should be used within 24 hours, so use liberally when ever you visit the restroom.
