Hi folks,
In this episode we get into the nitty gritty of how to take a sitz bath. Because it has to do with the nether regions I find people are often hesitant to ask too many questions in the office, so I wanted to lay out all the information here in a more anonymous space.
It really isn’t too hard and can make a big difference in your healing, so if your doctor recommended sitz baths make sure to listen here!

Hi anyone with kids in your life at all,
This episode is an extra adjunct on top of EP 22 to remind you that weed, especially edibles, need to be diligently stored just like medications. Too many kids get into edibles every day with sad consequences.
Take the time to be responsible,
Kayla
