Self-Care and Relaxation

himalayan pink salt, wild rose petals (collected from the sea wall in
Vancouver), extract of wild rose, rose essential oil

Rose Pink Salts Bath to water, get in and melt. Pure relaxation.
- Lavender Silk Eye Pillow, $24.50

lavender bud in a unbleached cotton muslin satchel (approx 5" x 9")
covered in a silk removable cover. Available in teal, plum or deep rose silk.
- Good for covering eyes and helping to sink down deep into your
pillow. The lavender helps you to relax and the weight of the flaxseed
makes the pillow contour to your face. Can be used at room temperature,
stored in the freezer (in a ziplock bag) and used for headache relief or
to calm puffy eyes, OR can be popped in the microwave for 30 second and
used as a hot magic bag on strained muscles.
- Herbal Sitz Bath (perineal wash tea), 240ml $14.50
- Ingredients: Plantain leaf, Calendula flower, Yarrow leaf, Lavender bud
- This is such a practical and thoughtful gift for a postpartum mom.
Use this herbal blend to brew "tea" for perineal care. Can be used in a
peri bottle for first days after birth or in a Sitz Bath for daily
soaks. I recommend to soak a couple maxi pads with this tea and freeze
for use in the first 24-48 hours
postpartum. This helps with the pain and to bring down the swelling. It
can also be used in the bathtub (for this I recommend using
a cotton muslin bag to contain the herbs).

Herbal Tinctures
A tincture is a liquid preparation that uses alcohol and water to extract the constituents of herbs. Put a small amount (approx. ¼ cup) boiled water into a cup. Add ½ tsp of tincture. Allow preparation to sit 15 minutes (this allows the majority of the alcohol in the tincture to evaporate via the steam). Take the blend of tincture/water with meals (i.e. ½ tsp. tincture in
water three times daily). Follow with a dried apricot chaser if you
dislike the taste.
