Sitz baths are coming back into popularity as a low risk, medicine-free solution to many health issues. Sitz baths are very helpful for a woman after childbirth whether or not she had an episiotomy. A sitz bath can also be used to treat hemorrhoids, prostrate infections, anal and vaginal fissures, and ease the discomfort of genital herpes, and vaginal or bladder infections.

How To Use a Neti Pot

If you've gotten this far, you've probably already overcome the gross factor. Let's admit it. We all had a similar first reaction-"Somebody sticks a pot of water up his nose and does what?!" Ewwwww. And it may or may not have helped us to learn that yogis have been practicing (jala) neti (or nasal irrigation) for thousands of years. Because after all, yogis, cool as they are, do some pretty strange things.

What brings most people around to the idea of using a neti pot is necessity, in whatever form she takes. Some people tire of treating chronic sinus infections with round after round of antibiotics. Others worry about the long-term effects of the steroid nasal sprays that lessen their allergy symptoms. Neti pots offer drug-free, all-natural, cost-effective relief from recurrent nasal irritation. And any sinus sufferer knows that relief like that translates to an improved quality of life.

How To Remove Warts with Duct Tape

"Now this won't hurt a bit." Ever heard a doctor say that right before she freezes your wart off (also known as cryosurgery)? Don't believe her. I don't know if it's the freezing or the scraping that hurts worse, but having gone through both once before with a plantar's wart on my foot, the whole procedure wasn't one that I ever wanted to experience again (even vicariously). So when my child developed a plantar wart on his foot, I wanted to give alternative treatment a try. Enter duct tape.
