Today we're going to make a Sitz bath
blend now for those who suffer from UTIs
or urinary tract infections know there's
numerous ways that you can benefit by
using essential oils. One of those ways is of
course just laying a compress over your
lower abdomen with the essential oils
and a carrier and just placing it over
your bottom with some heat maybe with a
heating pad. Another way is to add
essential oils to a compress and you can
also put it on your lower back another
way is to course get a large basin and
this is a assist bath that you can
actually fill with the water and then
you'll be adding your essential oils to
this and sitting in it for several
minutes and using this several times a
day and that's a great way to help
overcome those symptoms of societies or
maybe even a re-occurrence of a UTI over
and over. So let's go ahead and but again
looking at some of the essential oils that
are very beneficial for the urinary
tract I have chosen three different oils
to use for this particular blend I'm
going to use sandalwood as my base note
lavender as my middle note and I'm going
to also add chamomile just because I
think it's a very powerful all in
helping with its medicinal properties so
we're going to go ahead and use about
eight to ten drops. We're going to blend
by note so we're going to do the three
to one blending technique so we're going
to just go ahead and add a couple drops
of the sandalwood and add our lavender.
And then finally we're going to go ahead
and use our German chamomile now you'll
look on your notes there in your class
activity that there's numerous
variations of a recipe that you can use
for this so there's lots of different
ways that you can skin this cat if you
will. So I'm gonna go ahead and blend
this step okay and I like it it's very
nice so now we're going to go ahead and
if we were at home we would fill our
basin with water we would add our
essential oils here and then we would sit in
it for about 10 to 15 minutes and allow
it to help us. Because
the urethra wicks just like that E. coli
that got up there that caused the UTI
the essential oils will do the same so
your body will wick the oil up into your
system and help to treat that condition
with its antibacterial properties. Don't
forget you want to make sure you write
your notes in your workbook use your
therapeutic blend form for writing down
your recipe of what you used and also
use your recipe report form to make your
notes for the recipe and how did it work
for you.
