Perineal Care
After birth, providing there are no tears or cuts (see Healing Episiotomies and Tears), apply creams to help soothe the area and reduce swelling.
- Hypericum/St John’s Wort Oil is specific if there is pain.
- Traumeel Cream or Gel is excellent for reducing swelling and inflammation, as well as reducing pain.
- Quintessence Healing Cream is a wonderful tissue healer and may be applied regularly.
- Store creams in the fridge so that they are cool when applied, giving added relief.
- Use a sanitary pad soaked in either distilled witch hazel or calendula/hypericum infusions.
- Sitz baths can be useful to reduce swelling and pain. (see Healing Episiotomies and Tears)
