A sitz soak is a simple way to find comfort and relaxation at home, especially when done with sitz bath epsom salt. This time-tested practice, which involves a combination of warm water and soothing ingredients, is a great way to take a moment for yourself.
Here’s how to prepare and use a sitz bath, along with tips to make it even more relaxing.
How To Prepare Your Sitz Bath
Creating your sitz bath is simple and takes just a few steps:
1. Choose Your Basin Or Tub
Use a specialized sitz bath basin that fits over your toilet or a shallow section of your bathtub. Ensure it’s clean and free of residues before starting.
2. Fill With Warm Water
Add enough warm water to fill your basin or tub. Aim for a comfortable temperature—not too hot or cold.
3. Add Sitz Bath Ingredients
Add 2-3 tablespoons of sitz salt to the water, stirring until it dissolves.
For an elevated experience, try our Sitz Bath Soak at Better Bath Better Body, which has lavender, niaouli, geranium, and juniper essential oils, or our Lilliuma Sitz Bath Salt, crafted with Mediterranean sea salt and essential oils of lavender, frankincense, and chamomile.
4. Soak Comfortably
Sit in the bath for about 15-20 minutes. Keep a towel nearby for convenience.
Tips For A Relaxing Sitz Bath
Now that you know how to prepare a sitz bath, it’s time to learn how to make the most of it. Here are some helpful tips:
- Create The Right Atmosphere: Dim the lights, play soft music, or light a candle to set a peaceful mood.
- Use A Soft Towel Or Pillow: If using a toilet basin, place a rolled towel or cushion under you for extra comfort.
- Hydrate And Relax: Sip on a glass of water or herbal tea while soaking.
- Clean And Dry Carefully: After your soak, gently pat the area dry with a soft towel to avoid irritation.
