Various diets and treatments - sitz baths and their medicinal value (needles) VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS - SITZ BATHS AND THEIR MEDICINAL VALUE (NEEDLES)
Hay flowers (hayseed) and juniper needles can also be added to a hip bath. Or if you can obtain some eucalyptus leaves, they too are a good addition. Some of the aromatic herbs are stimulating while others have sedative properties. You will have to make your choice according to the intended effect. Even oat straw can be a beneficial addition, although it is often considered useless as a medicine. Whatever the case, a hip bath is more efficacious when a herbal infusion is added than if just water is used. It would be a pity to take so much time and trouble preparing a sitz bath if full use of the herbs as remedies were not made at the same time.
One or two hip baths should be taken every week. In cases of illness and necessity they can be taken more frequently. The time spent in the bath may vary from twenty to thirty minutes, and the water must be kept at a constant temperature of 37°C (98.6°F), which is accomplished by pouring off some of the water and replacing it with hot water. It is recommended that a hip bath be taken in the evening before going to bed, because you should not step out into the cold air afterwards or sit around in the house to cool off. A warm room is essential for such a bath, as a cold room absorbs too much body heat. Additionally, it is advisable to wrap up well with warm towels for extra warmth. A reduction in body temperature or even beginning to feel chilly is detrimental when taking a bath.
