T/CEMA 011-2025 Technical Operation Guidelines for Yao Bath Therapy

Scope

Main technical content: Before the procedure, a preoperative assessment should be conducted to evaluate the general condition of the patient, the indications and contraindications of the medicinal bath, and to conduct an adaptive assessment. Inform the patient of the precautions for the medicinal bath. Operating method: Fill the bath tub with water to a depth of 400 mm, and set the initial water temperature to (40 ± 2) °C according to the patient's needs. Gradually pour the prepared Chinese herbal decoction into the bath tub and mix it to prepare the medicinal bath solution. After the patient showers and cleans himself/herself, he/she should enter the bath tub. During the full-body bath, the patient should sit or lie in a semi-reclining position, with the water level reaching the neck, ensuring comfort. During the bath, the patient can adjust the water temperature as needed to achieve comfort. The single bathing time is (20 ± 10) minutes. The patient can also leave the bath tub to rest as needed or drink water as needed. After the medicinal bath, it is advisable to get up slowly and leave the bath tub. It is recommended to have the medicinal bath once every other day, with a course of treatment lasting 3 weeks. While respecting the patient's privacy and ensuring their safety, appropriate supervision should be provided.
