Bathing Cures for Menstrual Problems

When pain occurs during menstruation, it usually means that the womb itself is inflamed. This condition can be relieved by proper attention to diet and hot hip baths just before the period is due and cold hip baths between the periods. The hot hip bath is generally taken for eight to ten minutes at a water temperature of 100º F which can be gradually increased to 120º F. The cold hipbath should be taken for 10 to 15 minutes at a water temperature of 50 to 65º F.
