DOUCHES Douches may be applied to individual portions of the body, depending upon the particular organs or structures affected. The jet, the spray, the fan, or the filiform douche may be chosen as the parts require, and they may be short, prolonged, hot or cold, or alternately hot and cold, and under greater or less pres- sure — from 10 to 35 pounds to the square inch. Cold applications, lasting one or two minutes, are strongly stimulant, producing a vigorous reaction in most cases. The entire ...vascular and lymphatic systems immediately underlying the exposed part are afifected in proportion to the pressure under which the douche is applied. If no pressure accompany the cold, the action is superficial, but may in certain localities produce reflex stimulation. Hot applications allay pain or benumb the superficial cutane- ous nerves. At a temperature of 90° to 100° F. (32.2°-37.8° C.) they produce local and reflex sedative effects. NEEDLE DOUCHE, NEEDLE SPRAY, CIRCULAR DOUCHE In its most effective form this douche is delivered from a series of "roses" having minute perforations, and arranged at different heights on an upright system of tubes connected with the control table.
