OVERHEATING THERAPY: DO-IT-YOURSELF SAUNA
If you do not have your own sauna, and have no easy access to a sauna, you can make a do-it-yourself sauna in your own bedroom, as follows:
First take a hot bath, as hot as you can stand. Then dry yourself and wrap in a heavy bath towel. Put a plastic or rubber sheet on your bed to protect it from damage by perspiration. Lie on the rubber sheet, take a couple of hot water bottles and cover yourself with an electric blanket, turned on high, leaving just a crack for breathing. Use several heavy blankets, if necessary. Remain in bed while profuse sweating occurs - half an hour or more. Finish with a shower.
Note: Although fever is a natural, constructive, beneficial symptom, and fever therapy is one of the most effective means in the arsenal of biological modalities, I must stress the fact that fever therapy should always be supervised by an expert practitioner and undertaken on the advice of a doctor. The patient's heart condition, his ability to perspire and his general vitality should be checked and his reaction during the therapy closely supervised. Also, the length of the overheating therapy, and the dosage of fever-inducing drugs (if they are used), should be determined by the doctor.
The above warning is in regard to patients who are ill. There is, of course, no danger for healthy people to take sauna or other steam or hot baths, or even a Schlenz-bath, on a regular basis as a preventive, cleansing and health-building measure, as millions of people are doing both here and in Europe.
