Sitz Bath

I can’t be the only one whose hemorrhoids have started really bothering them. My husband reminded me that I bought a sitz bath for postpartum and I should just use it now. It’s been a lifesaver!

I found this recipe for a soothing sitz bath and it works like a charm, making me feel like my old self for hours. I didn’t use frankincense because I didn’t have it on hand, but I’m considering purchasing it for next time. Here it is, in case anyone needs it!

1/3 cup Epsom salt

¼ cup sea salt

2 tablespoons witch hazel

10 drops tea tree essential oil

8 drops frankincense essential oil

8 drops lavender essential oil

Mix it with warm water and sit in it for 15-20 minutes. Makes enough for two baths.
