How to Prepare a Safe Clove Water Sitz Bath
Ingredients:
-
2–3 whole cloves (do not use ground cloves or clove oil—they are too potent)
-
1 liter of clean water
-
Instructions:
-
Brew the Infusion: Boil the water. Add the cloves, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Cool & Strain: Allow the water to cool to a warm, comfortable temperature (test on your inner wrist). Strain out all solid clove pieces to prevent direct contact with sensitive skin.
-
Prepare the Bath: Pour the strained clove water into a clean sitz bath basin or a shallow container placed in your bathtub. The water level should be just high enough to cover the perineal area when you sit—no higher.
-
Soak: Sit comfortably for 8–12 minutes. Remain still and relaxed.
-
Dry Gently: After soaking, pat the area thoroughly dry with a clean, soft towel. Do not rub.
Frequency: For general hygiene and comfort, 1–2 times per week is sufficient. Daily use is not recommended as it can disrupt the skin’s natural pH and microbiome.
