Alloymed Sitz Bath
Sitz baths are used to relieve discomfort and pain in the lower part of the body and also cleanses the area.
Sitz baths may either be warm or cool. Some common uses are listed below (user discretion necessary; see a medical professional if in doubt).
Warm baths are recommended for reducing the itching, pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as hemorrhoids and genital problems.
Cool sitz baths are said to be helpful in easing constipation, inflammation and vaginal discharges, and, in cases of fecal or urinary incontinence, in toning the muscles.
Other uses
For most purposes sitz baths with water are sufficient, though some people prefer to use saline water or water mixed with baking soda. The use of such additives helps to reduce infections. Women with candidiasis (a vaginal yeast infection) may benefit from a warm bath with salt and vinegar.
