Kalahari salt: Clean and completely natural salt from the Kalahari dessert. From an ancient and pristine natural source, unrefined or processed. Antimicrobial properties & helps heal wounds. Helps body absorb magnesium and trace minerals.
Directions
Place 1/3 of a cup of the healing salts in the reusable bath tea bag provided.
Let steep in a small amount of boiling water in the bath for at least 10 minutes to let the herbs infuse.
Fill bath water to desired temperature and water level before you hop in.
The shallower the bath, the more potent the brew will be. You can use a special sitz bath for this, or your normal bath.
Relax and let the healing ritual bath do its magic. Safe for baba too!
Ask the Herbalist
Q: I didn't have a natural birth, can I use this?
A: YES!!
Mother Moon Herbals was created wth a strong purpose to oppose the mommy shaming and to be inclusive of each individual choice a Mother has to make.
You can most definitely use the healing bath tea after a c-section (I did!), just make sure to wait for your medical professionals approval of when you can take your first bath post birth.
Q: I don't have a bath but would like to get the healing benefits post birth. Is there another way to use this?
A: The Healing Bath Tea has been created to be a multi use product - as we don't have time for 100's of products as a new mom!
You can make a postpartum peri-spray or padsicles to ease the perineum post birth.
Steep 1/4 c herbs for an hour in a small jar with 500ml boiling water (like making a tea). Cool and strain. Soak a maternity pad with the herbal liquid and freeze to make a padsicle, or put in a peri bottle to use as a peri wash/spray.
