Hot bath makes
blood circulate, allows the fast assimilation of active
properties, increases the defending properties of the human body
against any infection. It is a good remedy against kidney
infection and cystitis, rheumatism, cold, and flu. It is highly
recommended for sensible persons (those who easily get
cold).
Partial hot bath (feet and bottom) should be made
into a basin cool infusion ( 37-39° C), without adding
water.

serious arteritis should not make hot bath.
Bath with
complete extract
Soak 7-10 handful of hay
flowers into 5 litres of water. Let it soak for 8-10 hours, at
room temperature (all day long). Filter the soak and keep it into
a pot. Add another 3-4 handful of fresh flowers, boil them for 1-2
minutes into 5 litres of boiling water and let the infusion cool
down for 20-30 minutes. After cooling, filter it and combine it
with the cold soak and then, pour it into the bathtub. The extract
contains active properties obtained by soaking.

Put a handful of hay flowers into a cup of
boiling water, and boil it for 10-15 minutes. Take off the flowers
and filter it. Put them into a peace of lint, put it on the wound/
harmful spot and keep it there as long as possible.

machine and put them into warm water (37-42°C). Let it cool
for 1-2 hours then, put them into lint and keep it on the painful
spot.
The cure is recommended for:
- peripheric nerves,
muscle pains - make complete bath (30 minutes long). The cure
should be made 2-3 times/week; it has a mild property: it
regulates the central nervous system, stimulates peripheric nerves
and eliminates muscle pains. It is recommended against paralysis,
neuralgia and myalgia.
- cystitits, kidney problems - hot
bottom bath, in the evening (10-20 minutes). Fill a basin with 5-7
litres of hot infusion and let the infusion cool - 39°C. From
time to time, add infusion, so that the water stays warm. After
bath, wipe with a dry and warm towel and stay in bed for half an
hour.
- rheumatism - partial/complete bath. Usually, natural
therapists recommend very hot complete bath (39-41°C). Prepare
5 litres of complete extract, put it into the tub, cover it with
cellophane and get into the tub (keep your head out). From time to
time, add hot infusion so that the water keeps being warm. Take a
bath every two days, for at least 10 days. The cure is very good
in case of rheumatism, analgesia, or articulation swelling. People
who suffer from heart diseases should not take hot bath.
-
skin damage - several plants growing into a hay
stack have antiseptic properties: red trefoil, plantain,
yellow fairy, shepherd's thyme, milfoil, etc. They can be used as
main medicine or an auxiliary against infections, sweeling,
eczema, sclerodemia, etc. Acute infection need strong
against-swelling medicine (dermatitis, for instance) as it becomes
more serious into moist environment. In order to cure allergy,
infection, acnea, psoriasis, dermatitis, we recommend partial bath
with complete hay extract. The cure should be intensive in the
beginning: 1-2 bath, for 15-30 minutes/day, for a week. Then, take
a bath every two days, for three weeks. You should also follow
cures of dis intoxication using plants, such as: angelica, elder,
etc.
- migraines - if the pain decreases into warm
environment, use warm cataplasm on the nape of the neck; press it
with a bottle filled with hot water (so that the temperature stays
even). Keep it there for half an hour, meanwhile the patient
should be relaxed, laid down on his stomach and breathe deeply. In
case it becomes serious into warm environment, use cold cataplasm
on the front head and temples and change them every 10-15 minutes.
Do it for not more than an hour/day.
- complete bath with cold
extract - meant for people suffering from stress (intellectual
activity), poor energy and lacking in vitality. The cure should
last for three weeks: 3 days of complete bath.
- insomnia -
complete daily bath, in the evening, before sleep. The temperature
should not be very high. The bath should last for 30 minutes.
During the first week, take one bath/day, before sleep. Then, take
a bath every three days.
- auxiliary, in cancer cure - it is
highly recommended for curing cancer, since it dis intoxicates the
body (the plants that grow into the hay
stack): dyer's broom, common marjoram, caraway, white fairy,
shepherd's thyme, red trefoil, etc. This kind of bath should be
taken once or twice a week, at the most, and
they should last for half an hour. The temperature should be even.
