arame hip bath


By inducing perspiration and increasing circulation this traditional Japanese remedy has been used for hundreds of years, helping to dissolve excess stored fat and oils from the body. Especially good for women's reproductive organs and for the skin. Aids in reducing body odors by cleansing the pores through increased perspiration and circulation. Use this bath 1 to 3 times per week for 1 month or nightly for 10 days in a row. 

NOTE: Do not use this bath if pregnant, nursing, or menstruating. Not recommended for men.

Ingredients


  • 1 cup Arame, 1 large handful
  • 4 quarts water
  • 1 handful Sea Salt


Instructions

Place the arame and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the flame and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the sea salt and stir to dissolve. Pour the hot liquid through a strainer into a bath tub or sitz bath. Add additional warm water to waist level. Try to keep the temperature as hot as you can stand without burning yourself. Wrap your upper body in a thick bath towel and sit for 10 to 20 minutes.
