warm beverages throughout the day and evening.
Herbs: To stimulate circulation, drink hot ginger tea. Also, apply cayenne pepper as a spice to your food. Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists, and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. We suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you. *Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. The section: Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water, offers clear instructions and recommendations. Topical Treatment: Gel from a freshly cut aloe vera leaf applied to the affected area(s) can speed recovery. Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin B complex and cayenne capsules can help to restore lost circulation. Close Browser/Window To Return To The Main Menu |
