Healing Spray – Shake well before each use and apply as often as needed.

GEN Mama Postpartum Healing spray contains no water. Some enjoy the fact that the spray is concentrated as it does provide soothing relief when you need it most. However, some find it to be a bit strong. It is easy to “cut” the spray with some water to reduce the potency. Please note that adding water will reduce the life of the product because it contains no preservatives. We advise adding water and some of the Healing Spray to another bottle instead of your GEN Mama Postpartum Healing Spray bottle.

Applications other than using it as a peri spray include:
Using some of the spray in a peri bottle with warm water as a wash
Using it on a rag or a pad as a compress for the inflamed tissue
Using a small amount in a sitz bath

Healing Herbs – New moms can soak in an herbal bath as soon as they are healthy and ready after a vaginal birth. Sometimes this can be as soon as an hour after birth. Baths can be taken daily or even twice daily to promote healing. Baby can bathe with mama as the herbs help promote drying and easy healing of the umbilical cord.

Preparing the GEN Mama Postpartum Bath Herbs is as simple as making a cup of tea or infusion.

Herbal Tea/Infusion: Place a bag into a mason jar, or other heatproof container preferably with a lid that can be sealed, and pour 4 cups of boiling water over the herbs and put the lid on the container. Allow them to steep for a few minutes for a tea or even better for 4 to 8 hours in order to obtain maximum potency. Take out the bag and use the infused liquid directly in your bathwater, in a sitz bath, or in a peri bottle or compress. The herbs in the bag can be discarded or composted and the bag can be rinsed and reused.

Healing Balm – Apply with clean, dry hands or with a clean dry cloth as often as needed to both sooth and heal the perineal area. The organic/wildcrafted essential oils in this balm are used at low levels to ensure safety.

Nursing Cream – Apply to sore, cracked nipples after each feeding. GEN Mama Nursing Cream does not need to be washed off as it will easily soak into the skin. GEN Mama Nursing Cream is also perfect for using on any areas of dry or chapped skin!
