ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Galvanic bath

Okay kiddo, a galvanic bath is like a really fancy bath where you can make electricity go through your body to help you feel better.

Imagine you have a toy boat in the bathtub and you want it to go faster. You can't use your hands to make it go faster, but you can use a machine with batteries that makes electricity flow through the water. The electricity goes through the boat and makes it go faster.

Now, let's say you have pain or swelling in your body. With a galvanic bath, instead of a toy boat, you put your body in the water and electricity flows through you. This might sound scary, but it's not! It's a very small amount of electricity and you won't even feel it.

The electricity can help your muscles relax and make your blood flow better. This can help ease your pain or reduce swelling. It's like magic!

But remember, this is a fancy bath that needs to be done by a grown-up who knows what they're doing. It's not something you should try at home without help.
