DIY Postpartum Spray

Soothing DIY Postpartum Spray | Montain Mamas' Blog| mntmommies.com I wish I had a been a doula and used essential oils when I had my twins. The only way I got any relief after their birth was with those little frozen snap packs I got at the hospital. When I ran out of those I literally sat down and cried for a solid forty minutes. My heart was broken and it felt like my vagina was too. So I started taking ibuprofen every couple of hours to keep it all manageable. I really wish someone had told me that there was a more natural way refresh, soothe, and support my postpartum lady bits.

When I completed my doula training and joined the wonderful world of doulas I learned so many things and one of them was a postpartum spray. I always make this up and give it as a gift to my doula clients. I’ve tweaked the recipe over the last year and many of my clients are in LOVE with it.

So I thought it was time to share this wonderful recipe with you guys!

DIY Postpartum Spray

  1. Use a 4-6 oz. glass spray bottle and a funnel.
  2. Add the witch hazel, aloe, water, and vegetable glycerin to the bottle.
  3. Remove the funnel and then drop in your essential oils.
  4. Shake to combine.
I choose to only use Young Living Essential Oils for their quality and purity. Find out how to save 24% on all your oily purchases!

Now you are ready to use it. Just spray a few times after using the restroom. I’ve found that many women like to keep it in the fridge so it is cooling when they spray it on.
