Since I am wide awake at near 3:30am here goes:
Before the invention of antibiotics people in Europe cured their colds by dunking their arms in hot water. It induced a short-term high fever and was believed to rid the body of toxins.
Pull a chair in front of your washbasin & stack a couple of pillows on the seat so you can sit comfortable in front of the sink, as if you were at your desk.
Get into your pajamas, tie up your hair and roll up your sleeves . Check the clock. The procedure should last no more than 20 minutes.
Fill the basin with hot water. Add scented bath oils if desired.
Cover your head and face with a fresh towel.
Cross your bare arms in front of you and submerge them into the basin.
Every five minutes raise the temperature of the bath by reaching out and adding hot water right from the tap.
The steam releases sweat from every pore of your skin. You are a rosy -- and drippy mess
Your 20 minutes are over. Get up, dry your arms and face and go straight to bed. You should sleep like a baby and wake up full of energy.
Maybe I need to try this now!
