7 Reasons Tea Baths Are Essential for Postpartum Soreness, Exhaustion & Recovery
1. Postpartum Recovery Can Take Up to 18 Months. Heritage Baths Have Supported It for Centuries.
How you treat your body during the postpartum period directly affects how long and how well you heal, and warm-water immersion with botanicals is one of the oldest forms of postpartum care in East Asian tradition.
In an independent consumer study, 91% reported their muscles felt less tense after a single Mountain Fog soak.
2. Stress Doesn't Reset Overnight. It Accumulates and Your Baby Can Feel It Too.
Prioritising your own recovery isn't separate from caring for your baby, it's part of it.
93% reported feeling less stressed after one Inoki soak, and 72% still reported significantly reduced stress three days later.
3. Hot Water Helps. An Inoki Tea Bath Soak Does More.
Warm water is standard postpartum advice, but whole botanical remedies take your bath further, releasing their natural oils and aroma as they steep.
93% reported softer skin, and 96% felt more physically relaxed.
4. The Botanicals East Asian Moms Have Used for Centuries.
Mugwort has been used in Chinese, Korean and Japanese postpartum care for generations, steeped into baths for improved circulation and comfort during the months after birth.
Inoki blends are built on that tradition, and 98% reported a meaningful self-care benefit beyond a regular bath.
5. You're Careful About Everything That Touches Your Baby. You Deserve the Same.
You read every label that goes near your baby, at a point when your own skin may be more reactive than usual.
The Postpartum Recovery Set is made in small batches in North America from whole botanicals.
93% reported it was gentle and suitable for sensitive skin, and 83% reported less irritation.
6. You Don't Have the Energy to Figure Out How to Relax. So We Did It For You.
Every Inoki bath comes with guidedbreathwork and music hosted on Spotify, so the precious minutes you have to relax are spent resting rather than deciding how to rest.
89% reported their breathing became more regulated and deeper, and 98% reported it felt like a thoughtful spa treatment, there's a reason we're carried in the world's most prestigious hotel spas.

Postpartum Recovery Set
A restorative ritual made for postpartum recovery, whether for someone you love or for yourself.
Inoki’s signature heritage bath helps soothe p...
I grew up with the rituals of visiting bathhouses - heritage practices where families gathered to find restoration through bathing in healing teas, botanicals, and natural minerals.
These rituals were a sanctuary for the mind and body, a place where time slowed down and the spirit could reset.
Love! So luxurious, smells amazing, makes a fabulous luxe gift to yourself or a friend. I scooped out one fifth of the mixture and added it to my sachet bag rather than reusing as directed by storing in the fridge between uses. This worked best for me as a busy mom of four with limited fridge space, and the quality ingredients were still enough to work at a fraction of the recommended amount.
I absolutely love the Nordic tea bath. It smells wonderful and the spearmint is so invigorating! I have a toddler, so my bath time ritual is not very often. I decided to splurge for my birthday this year and got the Inoki sampler pack. I am so glad I did. 😁
I absolutely loved this tea bath ritual. It turned an ordinary bath into such a relaxing experience, and the floral scent was beautiful without being overpowering. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day, and I’ll definitely be using it again🥹🤍✨
I bought this set to find my favorite scent and now I feel like I need it all. The bath is so soothing and relaxing. It makes my bathroom smell heavenly even after the bath is over. I am a forever customer now!
Love the brand design on my glass jar - it's honestly a bit bigger than I thought and it could definitely hold a "full-soak" of any of the lovely bath mixtures! I can't wait to get my hands on more of them in the future!
Love that the lid is wooden and that it doesn't easily pop off if tilted!

As of this moment, I've used the Nordic Lagoon twice!
It's been incredibly relaxing, soaking in the tub and the spearmint is quite refreshing! My skin feels much smoother and moisturized compared to using bath bombs!
I'm never going back and hope to get my hands on more products! <3
Love all of these teas! The Nordic Lagoon is my personal favourite. Also I know you aren’t marketing it as such, but I have a steam shower that I use your teas with and it’s absolutely amazing! All I do is tie the tea bag over the steamer head and let the tea diffuse into the steam as the sauna shower fills up. Great way to maximize the use of the tea! Will definitely be buy more soon!
Like it but not my favorite. I drink cold mint tea everyday so it was a little stange to bath in a similar tea. Very strong. Next time will try half the amount.
This tea bath is my absolute favorite! My muscles feel wonderful after soaking in it and I fall sleep right away. I have made this one a ritual one once a week now. I suffer from inflammation in my ankles and have noticed a huge benefit in my health since using it. Wish I could buy this one in bulk. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful tea bath!
Inoki did not disappoint! Best bath I ever took. I choose Mt fog for my first bath and my kitties even hung with me lol I had best sleep and woke up feeling amazing. My muscles were so relaxed. I will be a life long Inoki customer!
I am citrusy glowing! Love love love my 1st bathing ritual! Thank you for the high-quality products and regal packaging. From the elegant gift boxes to the red envelope, I am a lifetime customer.
I absolutely adore these products. This purchase was a roofer and also purchased a sampler pack as a gift. Mountain fog is my favorite but all of the blends transport you to a beautiful place.
I love this luxurious set. I love getting to try all the different teas and learning a little bit about each! And it comes with a beautiful card with a painting of each tea is lovely. Just a delightful experience overall.
The design on the jar I received was different than the jar in the picture (one of which at least seems to have been updated on the website since). Otherwise, the jar is nice. Customer service was also prompt and helpful regarding the issue.
I ordered one for myself and one for my mother in law who also loves tea. The quality and range of tea was exceptional. The packaging was beautiful and the card was super helpful as I checked off teas as I went and wrote notes about teas I wanted to buy for the future. This was so fun and I hope they do it again next year!
I had a wonderful time experiencing and enjoying the 2025 Tea Advent Calendar. I have a private blog of every day and the experience I had with each tea, but it far exceeds the word limit here; I had too many wonderful things to say. If there is ever a way to purchase 1 or 2 oz of these teas (or future teas from the incredible tea farmers and other artists involved) I would be very interested!
This tea is delicious! I am really enjoying the experience! I like how there is enjoy tea in each satchel/pack to make a pot of tea or have a second cup on another day. Favs so far are Ceremonial Dragonwell and Spearmint St. Helens
A wonderful selection of teas that have created a beautiful daily ritual of tea experiences. I am still working through the set, but I am really loving the variety and the quality.
Hi! Even though it’s quite an investment for me, I truly enjoy the Royal Tea Calendar every single day. Some of the tea bags are filled so generously that I don’t finish them in one day, which means the teas stay with me for a few extra weeks into the new year. And there they are — my delicate December teas, still waiting to be enjoyed. I love that there are no added aromas, just the pure essence of nature and such a gentle, refined taste. Each tea is different, and enjoying one every day feels like a small personal ritual — even if, after paying customs taxes here in Europe, it ended up being a little more than a small treat.
I sent one to my mom and got one for myself and we've had so much fun comparing notes on the teas every day. So many of these teas are new to me and so delightful. My favorite so far was the royal chrysanthemum (pictured) and the blue lotus. Best advent calendar ever and totally worth the price.
Such a fun experience to try new teas and take a few minutes to slow down and enjoy the present moment. Absolutely love the care and attention to detail that was put into this Advent Tea Calendar!! Highly recommend as a way to treat yourself and/or loved ones who enjoy trying new things and are open to trying new teas.
Beautiful fragrance and definitely supported healthy blood flow. I’ve now used the same bag for two baths and both were deeply healing. Soaking in the tea bathe was uplifting and soul nourishing.
Home spa day treating myself - the mystery gift is a bit messy & very unnecessary so I gave it a 3 (average) review. Very frivolous but nice none the less.
I had the most amazing home spa experience with my tea bath + added some rose petals of my own!! Love the natural option versus the usual chemical filled bath bombs and bubble baths we find at the store. My skin felt amazing and I was so relaxed after that I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. The tea baths will be part of my weekly self care routine and I will be buying more! Can’t wait to see more options as well since they are all so amazing ❤️
