Herbal steam bath

Breast milk is the best possible nutrition for your baby. Close contact with your baby – skin-to-skin bonding – not just in the first few hours of life, is the first step towards successful breastfeeding.

A vaginal herbal steam bath is a wonderful natural ritual that can be used at any time during the first stage of labour. The warm, fragrant steam infused with selected herbs helps to relax the pelvic floor muscles, promotes blood flow to the pelvis, moisturises the birth canal, softens the perineum and thus reduces the risk of tearing. The scent of the herbs promotes relaxation and calms the mind. The herbal pouch can then be used during the second stage of labour to warm the perineum.
