What is the effect of salt water sitz bath

Many people like to take a bath before going to bed, as if this can eliminate a day's fatigue and have a comfortable sleep. In fact, what is more comfortable than taking a bath is taking a soak in the bath. Lying in a warm bathtub, the body is gently caressed by the soft water. It feels so enjoyable. Many people like to put some salt water when taking a sitz bath. So what is the role of putting salt water in a sitz bath? Let me introduce it to you below.

The benefits of warm salt water baths are as follows:

1. It can promote skin metabolism and help to excrete toxins from the body;

2. It can effectively kill pathogenic bacteria on the skin surface and protect the health of the skin;

3. It can effectively improve people's ability to withstand high temperatures and immunity.

4. Promote blood circulation, accelerate blood circulation and eliminate swelling.

5. It can clean the buttocks and prevent the vulva from being dirty. It is also very helpful in reducing the incidence of hemorrhoids. It is an effective method to clean the anus, promote wound healing and prevent infection. Regular warm water sitz baths can effectively prevent fungal infections and protect the health of the lower body.

6. Anti-inflammatory: The rapid development of society and the increasing pressure of work and life have increased the incidence of diseases such as prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia. Although these diseases are not fatal, they seriously affect the emotional life of couples, affect physical health, and bring great troubles to people's lives and work. A warm water sitz bath can warm the prostate, eliminate inflammation and relieve the patient's pain. Admittedly, warm water sitz bath is not a cure for prostatitis, but only serves as an auxiliary treatment.

7 Specific preparation method: prepare at a concentration of 2%-5% (approximately 1 liang of salt for every 5 jin of water or 1 liang of salt for every 2 jin of water, usually 1 liang of salt for each 5-pound warm water bottle), dissolve the salt with boiling water in a large basin, and when the water temperature drops to a level that does not scald the child (not too cold), let the child sit in the basin with the vulva completely immersed under the water. Each sitz bath lasts 15-30 minutes, 2-3 times a day (3 times a day if edema is more obvious in the early stages, 1-2 times a day if edema gradually subsides in the later stages), usually a bath for at least 2 weeks, and check again after 2 weeks to determine whether to stop the bath. Rinse with clean water after the bath. The principle of warm salt water to reduce swelling is to use the principle of osmotic pressure. Soaking in salt water, boric acid, and potassium permanganate are all available. Salt water is relatively safe and will not cause any adverse reactions if children accidentally ingest it. There is generally no allergic reaction to salt water.

8. When hemorrhoids occur, take a sitz bath in warm salt water. Warm salt water sitting bath can promote blood circulation in the anal area and treat intestinal inflammation and local anal inflammation. This method can also be used to prevent hemorrhoids. If the edema is severe, the concentration can be greater than 0.9%. The temperature should be at 37°C and each sitz bath should generally last 15 to 20 minutes. Hope this helps! Method: Prepare at a concentration of 2%-5% (approximately 1 liang of salt per 5 jin of water to 1 liang of salt per 2 jin of water, usually 1 liang of salt per 5 pound warm water bottle)
