Heat Therapy

Use heat exposure such as hot baths, hot showers, or hot fomentations to raise body temperature and potentially stimulate innate immunity and interferon production. For hot fomentations, hot towels were soaked, heated carefully, placed over a protective cloth layer, and kept on until sweating began, for about 20 minutes. Covering the head in the sauna with a towel or wool beanie was suggested to reduce the brain's heat signal and tolerate heat more comfortably.
