Al-Bukhaari (314) and Muslim (332) narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that Asma’ asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about ghusl following menses. He said: “Let one of you take her water and lotus leaves and clean herself well, then let her pour water over her head and rub it vigorously so that it will reach the roots of her hair. Then let her pour the water over herself, then take a piece of cloth scented with musk and purify herself.” Asma’ said: How should she purify herself? He said: “Subhaan-Allaah! Purify yourself with it.” ‘Aa’ishah said – as if she whispered it to her – Follow the traces of blood.”

Postpartum steam – 50g [x 5 steams]

With Sidr leaves, Calendula, Lavender, Yarrow, Comfrey and Rose.

This herbal blend can be brewed and placed in a large bowl or pot, preferably under a steam chair (but depending on your own comfort, there are other ways to do this). Then towels or blankets can be wrapped around you while you sit on the chair to keep the steam in. While you’re sitting, the herbal steam enters through your vagina, relaxes the cervix and penetrates up to the womb.

Benefits of womb steaming after birth:

• Faster healing of the reproductive system after birth
• Boost the repair of an episiotomy, C-section scar, or vaginal tear
• Tone and tighten a woman’s personal area to their original tight state
• Significantly reduce the feeling of air bubbles and looseness
• Assist with the healing of haemorrhoids
• Relieves chronic vaginal/yeast infections, and works to maintain healthy odour
• Aids recovery of prolapsed organs

Womb steaming works best when done multiple times from week 1 to 6 after your baby has been born.
