If
the
recuperative
powers
are
defective
you
should
not
use
cold
water,
though
the
hand
bath
as
described
should
be
satisfactory.
In
such
cases,
however,
by
maintaining
the
warmth
of
the
feet
you
can
recuperate
quickly
and
easily.
If
you
will
stand
with
your
feet
in
hot
water
while
taking
the
hand
bath,
or
sponge
bath,
or
when
using
a
hand
spray
in
the
bathtub,
recuperation
will
be
easier.
When
the
feet
are
warm
the
circulation
is
more
easily
maintained.
Following
a
hot
bath,
the
hand
spray
can
be
used
for
the
shower,
applying
the
water
quickly
to
all
parts
of
the
body
before
getting
out
of
the
tub.
One
should
always
use
a
cold
sponge,
spray,
or
shower,
after
a
hot
bath
to
close
the
pores.
Then
rub
dry
quickly
and
vigorously
with
a
Turkish
towel.
A
sitz
bath
is
recommended
instead
of
a
full
tub
bath,
as
it
is
a
tonic
of
great
value
through
its
effect
upon
certain
sympathetic
nerve
centers.
This
bath
consists
in
immersing
only
the
central
part
of
the
body,
namely,
the
hips
and
abdomen.
Special
sitz
tubs
are
manufactured,
but
one
can
use
an
ordinary
wash
tub.
An
ordinary
bathtub
will
serve
if
filled
with
water
about
six
to
ten
inches
deep.
Put
the
feet
on
the
edge
of
the
tub
and
lower
the
hips
down
into
the
water.
This
bath
is
especially
valuable
as
a
means
of
stimulating
functional
activity.
The
colder
the
water
for
the
sitz
bath
the
better,
although
if
one
is
lacking
in
vitality,
it
should
not
be
below
70
degrees
Fahrenheit.
A
hot
sitz
bath
may
sometimes
be
suggested
for
inflammatory
and
painful
conditions
in
the
pelvic
region.
In
inflammation
of
the
bladder,
for
instance,
it
is
valuable.
