Proper digestion of food, absorption of nutrients & elimination of waste matter is vital for a healthy body & mind. A hip bath is one such naturopathic therapy, which ensures proper blood circulation in all the organs in the abdominal cavity. This hydrotherapeutic procedure involves immersing a patient’s abdominal region (the pelvis and abdomen till the navel) in a specially modified hip bathtub filled with water. The water’s temperature is decided based on the recipient’s health condition – cold, neutral, or hot. The therapeutic effects depend on the temperature & duration of treatment; however, some common benefits include alleviation of constipation, piles, menstrual disorders, inflammatory conditions of pelvic and abdominal organs, etc.
