As a postpartum nurse working to bridge the gap between the medical and natural, this is great! Thank you for sharing it.

In reply to Trista. As long as the tea is used within 24-48 hours for freshness that should be fine.

Can I cold brew a double batch over night, so I can add it to a warm bath the following morning and night?

In reply to Meghan. Yes, it doesn't say when to add the salt. I'm wondering too.

In reply to Sthi Shobowale. They could be put in a bag. It wouldn't be as strong but would still work

Hi Katie,

Can these be put into a muslin bag that would then be put straight into the tub or do they need to steep first as per your instructions?

Many thanks!

I have a lot of this blend left over after postpartum, which I loved by the way! Could I use my leftovers to infuse into the coconut oil for diaper balm? Thanks!

It seems simpler to add the herb mix to a muslin or mesh bag and let steep directly in the bath rather than having to brew the tea separately first. Is there any reason not to do it this way?

When you are adding the herbs to the hot water, does this also include the salt? Or do you add the salt to the bath?

Do you add the Epsom salt to the herb mix or just to the bath water once you’re ready to soak?

Hi!

So I’m guessing these measurements are for just 1 bath? Or how many baths can I get out of the recipe? Thanks!

In reply to Mary. Depending on how much you actually use per bath, that's a good ball park number.

Thank you for this recipe! I haven’t used herbs in years and don’t remember. If I buy 4 oz of herb where it calls for 1/4 cup and 8 oz where it calls for 1/2 cup – when I mix them all together will have enough for 14 or more sitz baths?

If you were going to get some of the herbs, but not all, for cost, what would say is the order of importance/which would you cut it first?

Ready on mt rose herbs that comfrey is contraindicated while breast feeding and that it should be used on broken or abraded skin….Do you know why that is?

Though I would love to make this myself, the cost of all those herbs add up. Is there anything comparable on the market? Etsy seems to have some, but their ingredients seem to vary quite a bit.
