]]>Take your ingredients…
Combine them and soak some pads!
![]()
Soak the pads good! They will swell.
…and after birth you will a nice soothing frozen pad for the vagina.
Arnica is for soreness and bruising, witch hazel is an astringent that soothes irritated tissues and relieves discomfort. Make many of these for postpartum, vaginal birth recovery. You will need to change pads often because after the frozen pad thaws it wont be incredibly absorbent and you’ll need some absorbency.
