The friction sitz bath

I just read a really excellent e-book about natural body detox using baths. That is a subject near and dear to my heart because I know of so many people who have been helped with chronic conditions just by doing detox baths. The book is called Detox Bath and it outlines the friction sitz bath developed by natural healer Louis Kuhne.

When I was in massage school I learned about the sitz bath. The sitz bath was highly recommended by medium and trance healer Edgar Cayce so I had known about it for some time even before then. The sitz bath is simple: you sit in a small tub or bidet with cold water surrounding your pelvic area. The rest of your body does not have to be in a tub, just the pelvic area. The water runs continuously over your pelvis. It needs to be cold, which is uncomfortable at first but cold water will achieve the desired therapeutic effect. And that's it for the sitz bath. It's very easy yet very effective at stimulating the circulation in the hips and pelvic area. That sound simplistic but the stimulation of circulation actually helps relieve constipation, IBS, cramps, and even pain in the lower limbs.

Louis Kuhne took this step further and added friction, or gentle rubbing with a washcloth, for the friction sitz bath. Thousands of his patients were greatly helped by this bath method and the method is still known today and used by holistic practitioners. The e-book explains this method thoroughly and offers a lot of other valuable detox information. I can't recommend it enough for all of you who are searching for safe, natural health alternatives. The Detox Bath Ebook is an excellent investment in your health. I wouldn't recommend it if I hadn't read it and found it extremely useful for my own health regimen!
