First Bath
1. Fill the bath tub with warm water with temperature you prefer.
2. Add one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide bottle to the bath tub.
3. Add one-half teaspoon of sea salt to the bath water
(Baleine is a good brand).
4. Avoid direct contact of the bath tub water with eyes.
5. After five minutes, add a second one quart bottle of 3% hydrogen
peroxide to the bath water, if there is no tissue irritation is experienced (see caution
note below).
6. After five minutes, add the third quart bottle of 3% hydrogen
peroxide to the bath water.
7. Stay in the bath from 20 to 25 minutes.
Second And Later Baths
1. Fill the bath tub with warm water with temperature you prefer.
2. Add three one-quart bottles of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the bath
tub.
3. Avoid direct contact of the bath tub water with eyes.
4. Stay in the bath from 20 to 25 minutes.
Caution:
1. Use bath water temperature that is comfortable for you.
2. Some women with symptoms of vaginitis may experience temporary
irritation and may need to use only one-half or one bottle of peroxide until tissue
irritation clears up.
3. Some persons experience lightheaded if they stand up suddenly
after a warm bath. It is a necessary safety step that this possibility be kept in mind and
one should get up slowly, holding the safety bar or the side of the bath tub.
Note:
Brown colored 1 quart bottles of 3% hydrogen
peroxide are generally available from drug stores and other stores, such as A&P. It
pays to do comparative shopping.
The
following text is taken from Dr. Ali's Dysoxygenosis and Oxystatic therapies,
the third volume of The Principles and Practice of Integrative Medicine.
As is the case with all other information on this website, it is being offered
as educational material, and is not a substitute for medical advice based on
full clinical evaluation of the case.
My colleagues at the Institute and I routinely prescribe hydrogen
peroxide foot soaks for patients with acute and chronic lower leg edema caused
by peripheral arterial insufficiency, varicose veins, unresolved trauma,
low-grade chronic infectious and atopic processes. Based on clinical results
obtained in several hundred patients, I now consider this therapy (described
later in this article) to be the safest and most effective therapy for those
conditions.
HYDROGEN
PEROXIDE FOOT SOAKS
Water 20
parts
H2O2 3% 1 part
Salt One teaspoon
Time 20 minutes
The recommended choices of salt are as follow: (1) Epsom salt; (2) sea salt; and
(3) common table salt.
Stronger solutions of H2O2, such as one part of H2O2 and 10 parts of water or 1
part of H2O2 and 15 parts of water may also be tried to test for variations in
efficacy for individual persons.
For chronic conditions, I generally prescribe foot soaks on a four or five day a
week basis. For subacute conditions, daily soaks are recommended. Uncommonly, I
have prescribed such soaks on a twice daily basis.
There are several good brands of foot soak and foot massage units available on
the market. The one made by Brookstone Company creates effective whirlpool
conditions and includes a "nodule" for effective massaging of tender points on
the feet or ankles.
