Instructions for Use
Give the jar a quick flip and gentle shake before opening. This will help to blend the salts and herbs together for a better balance of herbs per bath.
For a sitz bath or peri bottle: scoop 4 tablespoons of herbs (use provided scoop) into 1 quart of boiling water. Turn the heat off, cover with a lid, and steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool. Strain herbs completely from the liquid. Herbs can be composted or disposed of. Pour the infused herbal liquid in a sitz bath pan. Soak for up to half an hour. Alternatively, you can pour the infused liquid into a quart-sized mason jar and store it in the refrigerator. Using a peri bottle, fill halfway with the infused liquid and then the other half with warm water. Spray onto the vulva and perineum as needed.
For a full bath: scoop 4 tablespoons of herbs (use provided scoop) into muslin bag and drop into a full bath. Let bag saturate and squeeze out infused liquid every few minutes during your bath.
