Various diets and treatments - steam baths at home VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS - STEAM BATHS AT HOME
Steam baths are useful for dispersing congestions, making the urine flow again when retention occurs (older men often suffer from this difficulty) and relieving cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) and similar conditions of the bladder, as well as prostate problems.
These baths are easy enough to prepare at home. First make a steaming hot infusion of hay flowers (using the stalks, leaves, blossoms, seed and the hay itself), camomile, wild thyme or similar aromatic herbs. When this is ready, pour it into a large vessel, place a narrow plank or board over it, on which you can sit. Keep the steam and heat from escaping by covering yourself from head to toe with towels or sheets.
If you find sitting on the board to be uncomfortable, you might use some sort of wicker chair instead. If you do not have one, it may be possible to cut a hole out of the seat of an ordinary chair so that the steam can rise from underneath. In any event, you must keep your body warm and well wrapped in towels.
Keep adding more hot herbal infusion or hot water so that the steam continues to rise. It will be even more efficient it you can keep the infusion on a hot plate.
Such a steam bath is very effective, inexpensive to construct, and serves an excellent purpose.
