Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 here's another derm in tcm external scabies tx i have some questions about: an external formula (225g of herbs: 30g ea huang bai, bai bu, da feng zi, hydnocarpi seed, she chuang zi, ku shen, hua jiao, zanthoxyli pericarpium, tu jin pi, cx pseudolaricis, 15g bo he) is given to be prepared as a decoction. the directions are to wash the affected area (in this case the pubic region) or the whole body for 30 min daily. 7 days make up a course of tx. results seen in 5-14 days. wash affect area (pubic) for 30 min day: she likely does not have a wash tub for a sitz bath. should i rec using the bathtub and soaking to the waist? would the extra water needed for the bath dilute the decotion too much and render it less effective? would it be one decoction (bag) per bath? alternatively, could she apply compresses of the decoction to the area for 30min daily, changing the compress frequently? would this application be effective? i appreciate your thoughts. kath -- Kath Bartlett, LAc, MS, BA UCLA Oriental Medicine Experienced, Dedicated, Effective Asheville Center For 70 Woodfin Place, Suite West Wing Two Asheville, NC 28801 828.258.2777 kbartlett www.AcupunctureAsheville.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
