Male Fern & Wormwood Sitz Bath
Soak 1 tablespoon of male fern root and 10 tablespoons of wormwood in two liters of water at room temperature for eight to ten hours (overnight).
Strain the resulting cold maceration and set it aside.
Put the used plants in another two liters of boiling water this time, and leave covered until the decoction has cooled, then strain.
Combine the two teas (the cold maceration and the warm infusion) and pour them into your bath water or in a basin. Make sure the water is around 38-39°C/100-102°F. Do the sitz bath for 20-30 minutes, the pad the area dry with a towel, and rest in a very warm place for half an hour. Follow the procedure daily for a week.

Beware! This tea is only used externally, as it is very toxic to ingest. Also, never bathe your whole body in male fern infusions.
