When using Honghe Fujie Wash for sitz baths, it is generally not necessary to use your hands directly. The correct method of use is typically as follows: 1. First, clean the basin thoroughly, then pour in an appropriate amount of warm water, ensuring there is enough water to soak the external genital area. 2. According to the product instructions, dilute the appropriate amount of Honghe Wash into the water—usually several milliliters to tens of milliliters, depending on the specific dosage indicated on the product packaging. 3. Sit steadily in the basin, allowing the external genital area to be fully submerged in the water. Continue the sitz bath for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. 4. During this time, you may gently move your body to allow the solution to fully contact the affected area, but there is no need to directly rub with your hands. 5. After the sitz bath, stand up naturally to allow the water to drain away. There is no need for further rinsing; gently pat the external genital area dry. Please note that when using any cleansing product, including Honghe Wash, you should follow medical advice or the product instructions.
