5. Calendula Tincture – Natural Healing for Postpartum Care

A perfect buddy for your peri bottle, Calendula Tincture is a gentle, natural antiseptic that supports healing your perineum after birth. Just add a dropper full to your peri bottle each time you use the bathroom to help soothe stitches, swelling, or any tender spots.

Calendula tincture is incredibly versatile — it can also be used to make DIY postpartum ice pads, added to sitz baths, or even used for umbilical cord healing for your newborn. Many families keep a bottle in their birth kit for various gentle healing needs after birth.

✅ Why Parents Love Calendula Tincture:
✔️ Natural antiseptic for faster perineal healing
✔️ Great for peri bottles, sitz baths, or ice pads
✔️ Multi-purpose — use for umbilical cord care too
✔️ A little goes a long way — 1 bottle is all you need for your birth kit

Postpartum Tip:  Add one bottle of calendula tincture to your shopping list for your home or hospital birth kit — it’s a small item that makes a big difference.
