Requisites: Hip Bath tub, a stool specially made for this, a soft linen cloth.
Water temperature: Cold 18–24°C.
Duration: 2–10 minutes.
Procedure: In the hip bath tub, the stool specially made for this bath is placed. The tub is filled with cold water leaving the top of the stool dry. The patient then sits on the stool, keeping the legs outside. In case of a female patient, she dips a soft linen cloth in the water and gently washes the genitals from top, downwards. It is important that the external lips only be washed and inner parts of the sexual organs remained unwashed and untouched.

In case of males, the extreme edge of the foreskin of the genitals is washed in cold water. The patient should hold the foreskin between his middle and forefinger of the left hand and draw as far as possible over tip of the glans penis till the skin touches the water level in the tub. He should then gently wash the extreme end of the foreskin with a soft cloth. Under no circumstances should the cloth in the right hand touch the glans penis.

Soon after the bath, care should be taken to restore the warmth of the body by undertaking moderate exercise.
Uses: This treatment stimulates the nervous system, since the genitals are known as an important center of the central nervous system. In subnormal temperatures, it produces necessary heat in the body. Morbid internal heat in the body is diminished and, at the same time, a marked invigoration of the nervous system with increased vitality could be achieved by this application.
