Hot Baths, Saunas and Sweating

[Guest guest]

On the Strength List, Jim Harbourne suggested the following website on the

possible benefits of the sauna:

When I was researching more about " sweat lodges " after I had spent a

fascinating time in one of them with some good Native American friends near

Mesa Verde some years ago, I came upon the website from which the above

interesting webpage came:

<http://www.cyberbohemia.com/Pages/sweat.htm>

This excellent site offers a very extensive history and some physiology of

sweat lodges, saunas, steam baths and so on. My own experiences and use of

such heating and contrast bathing methods led my wife and I to install a deep

outdoor jacuzzi and swimming pool (plus steam room in the main house) on our

property, where these facilities, as the Finns state, are not a luxury, but a

fundamental aspect of home life. Those who have attended our Supertraining

Camps here will have experienced firsthand the value of really hot jacuzzi

bathing alternating with cool pool swimming and water exercise.

Do read various articles from this website and share any comments that you

may have about any of them.
