Fomentation therapy procedure

Warm water can be used to supply heat to affected parts, for therapeutic purpose. General methodology is as follows:

Heat water, can add some Epsom salt to it. If a herb or natural medicinal ingredient is found suitable or suggested for your condition, that can be added to the fomentation solution. 

Prepare it as a medium for providing warmth + moisture to the affected part. 

Soak a cloth in the solution, rinse & apply (with little padding pressure). Re-soak & rinse, as needed, and continue to apply for around 20 min. 

The purpose is to remove sickness or toxins from the area & do a therapeutic clean-up, It also helps relax muscles, provide much needed energy to alleviate inflammation or pain etc. of that specific part. Warm fomentation can thus help treatment, in some cases. 

Do this therapy regularly - once or twice, a day, is a good frequency generally. Continue this self-care for few days or weeks, as needed. 

After fomentation, you may also apply a therapeutic oil on the area, for further nourishment & flexibility. This shall be useful in most cases. 

Choose a pure oil like Sesame / Mustard / Coconut or an Ayurvedic medicinal oil, as suitable for your condition. 

Record any observations & review with your therapist, regularly, over a period of time. Discuss and make changes, to self-fomentation technique, as needed. Once the disease has reduced substantially, the therapy can be reduced and stopped subsequently, over a few days.
