It was difficult for me to find an exact description of Voegeli's method. One article did describe it as sitz bath, and I saw no mention of any sort of continuous heating method. So I am going to assume that we use water that starts at 116F and gradually cools over the 45 minutes.
I ordered a sitz bath kit from Amazon and filled it up. For good measure, I put the water bag in a cooler. Unfortunately, it appears our tap water only goes up to 114F. I decided to go forward with the treatment anyway.
Observation Number 1: I liked having 45 minutes of quiet time to read.
Observation Number 2: Sitting on a toilet for 45 minutes is quite uncomfortable. I don't know if I will get used to it with practice, or if it gets worse.
I turned up the hot water heater a bit, and will try again tomorrow.
