Clinical commentary 臨床

熏洗 — fumigating and then washing, which is what a sitz bath is: the patient sits over the steam first and then in the cooled decoction. Of everything in the chapter's external sections this is the one a person could use now, and warm sitz baths remain standard advice. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
