Benefits Of Epsom Salt Bath And Graduated Bath
by Nick Mutt
 
There are several curative hydrotherapic treatments and the two common among them are Epsom salt bath and graduated bath. In this article you will learn the methods and benefits of Epsom salt bath and graduated bath. Both these water treatments have several health benefits and act as a natural healing process for many diseases.

Epsom Salt Bath

In Epsom salt bath, the bath tub contains about 135-140 liters of hot water at 40º C. 1.5 Kg of Epsom salt are added to it and make it dissolved. Before the patient lies down in the tub his head should be covered with a cold towel and he drinks a glass of cold water. His body is completely immersed in the tub. This is done before going to bed at night.

Epsom salt bath is useful in rheumatism, lumbago, diabetes, cold and catarrh, kidney, diseases, sciatica, gout and skin diseases.

Graduated Bath

In graduated bath, the patient is subjected to bath at 31º C and the water temperature gradually lowered at 1º C per minute till it reaches 25º C, till he gets shivering. This is done every three hour.

Graduated bath reduces the temperature immediately except in malaria and it is tonic to the body by increasing the resistance of the body.

The following precautions must be taken during the treatment:

1. These water treatments must be done three hours before meals especially for entire body.
2. Use clean and pure water only.
3. Used water must be discarded and fresh water is used.
4. For ladies these treatments are better to be avoided during menses.
5. The temperature must be regulated for suitably good results.
6. The thermometer must be used to record heat of water during the treatment.
