I'm vaguely interested in the idea of putting together a selection of herbs & oils for a post-birth bath but I have no clue about such things! Does anyone have any suggestions about which herbs/oils would be useful?
I did a bit of googling & shepherd's purse came up a lot with some websites suggesting that it be made into a tea & drunk during labour to help contractions & avoid pph. I had a small pph after having DS1 & had to transfer in from my homebirth. I'd like to avoid that this time if possible but I'm a little scared of taking random herbs! Has anyone used it during labour? Where can I get it from that doesn't involve me going wandering round fields & picking the wrong stuff?!
