Glad to here the rrhoids are on their way out!

I just came from a lovely homebirth. The mama did not have a bath, (though she did have a birth pool). So instead of a post natal herbal bath, I made up the herbal mixture and put the concentrate in a jar. Then we would fill her peri-cleanse bottle (any squeezy bottle will do) about a quarter-full with the concentrated herbal liquid, then add hot tap water. The bottle would then be full of just-warm herbal liquid. She used this whenever she went to the toilet and it brought great relief. She had no tears but did have a slight graze and the warm herbal liquid was very soothing, and it does speed the healing.
