Fat and the Moon
Fat and the Moon’s Mama Sitz is a gentle herbal blend made to support postpartum recovery. Sitz baths are often used after childbirth to soothe soreness and irritation, offering simple, grounding relief during the early weeks of healing. Designed specifically for the postpartum perineum, this blend brings together calming herbs to care for tender skin and keep you more comfortable as your body recovers.

For a little extra care, pair it with Fat and the Moon’s Nipple Salve to sooth soreness and support recovery for new moms during early days of nursing. 

Fat and the Moon likes to think of themselves as minimal maximalists: if they make something, grow something, or buy something, they want it to serve at its maximum potential. The Mama Sitz is a perfect example—simple, effective, and thoughtfully crafted with non-toxic ingredients.   

Materials:  lavender (lavandula)*, comfrey (symphytum)*, chamomile (matricaria spp)*, witch hazel leaf (hamamelis)*, white willow bark (salix alba)*, myrrh gum powder (commiphora myrrha)*

Made by:  Fat and the Moon

Made in:  California, USA

Specifications:  16 fl oz

Packaging:  Fat and the Moon uses 100% plant-based "plastic" for their pouches, making them compostable. Can't compost? Toss them in the trash. They will break down quickly in the landfill. These pouches cannot be recycled. 

Use:  Steep 3 tablespoons of Mama Sitz herbs in boiling water for at least 30 minutes (overnight is best), then add the tea to a warm shallow bath with sea salt and soak for 20+ minutes daily.

Cold therapy option: Using the same tea (sans salt), saturate a clean cloth folded into a shape that will fit into a menstrual pad. Freeze the saturated tea cloth, then place it on top of a sanitary pad to wear. It’s like a popsicle outta the ice cream truck on a hot summer day ... for your yoni.

Other uses: Add tea to a peri-bottle and use as you would with water.

Care:  Best used within 6 months (dried and un-steeped). Store in a cool and dry place. Fat and the Moon crafts organic, made-to-order skin care using only non-toxic ingredients. Their commitment to freshness and purity means each product has a natural shelf life.

Further Reading:  Founded by herbalist Rachel Budde in 2012, Fat and the Moon crafts small-batch, plant-based body care products that honor traditional healing practices. Emphasizing sustainability and inclusivity, their offerings are handmade in California using consciously sourced ingredients, reflecting a commitment to both personal and planetary well-being.
