Sitz or hip baths are a bath where one sits in water up to the hips.


They have traditionally been used to relieve discomfort and pain in the lower region of the body; including the vulva and rectum. It is believed to work by keeping the affected area free of infection, increasing blood circulation and tightening and healing this tender tissue.

*includes a muslin bag for steeping
