Hot Water Therapy - Anyone?

Hi All:

Where I am from women follow very specific therapeutic routines after child birth (and I mean natural birth). Chief among this  post birth routine is sitting on a bucket filled with reasonably hot water once or twice a day. This I am told is ancient therapy that helps the healing process. Every woman will tell you that's what helped them heal. The power of vapor traveling upwards into the 'wounded' territories  carry this healing power.

My question is based on the location of the prostrate - or former location I should say,won't we men also benefit from a little hot water in a bucket  therapy?

 

 

I haven't used the hot water 'bath' to heal from my RRP, but I did use it for a few  weeks during and after my salvage radiation. I added a small hand full of sea salt and soaked  my butt in it for 10-15 minutes several times during the week. It really helped to ease the discomfort from radiation.

All the best to all my friends on this forum.

The nice thing is that almost nobody claims that hot water will hurt you. When we lived in Hungary the baths "furdo" were actually prescribed by doctors. When we got back I built a deck and cedar hot tub in back of our house. Hey, if it feels good, do it!

Actually, there is no contact with the water directly in this case. You'd just sit on a bucket (about 1/4 full) and let the vapor do the job.so no risk of infection here...
