Douches
By Dr. Thomas Stearns Lee
Douching is an ancient hydrotherapy technique
designed to flood an orifice of the body with a quantity of water or
medicated fluid; an internal shower, or rinse, in a way.
Common sense would dictate that these be avoided in
some situations, such as pregnancy or acute infection, when you
would want to work with a qualified natural health professional.
These recipes have been used widely and safely for
gentle cleansing of the vagina or rectum. Unless otherwise
directed, these should be used with room-temperature fluids.

2 tsp. cider vinegar mixed in 1 cup warm water
In the evening use:
1 tbsp. plain, live yogurt mixed in 1 cup warm
water
Baking Soda Douche
In the morning use:
1 tbsp. baking soda mixed in 1 qt. water
In the evening use:

symptoms persist, call a clinic for evaluation.
Boric Acid Douche
1 tbsp. Boric acid powder mixed in 1 qt. warm
