Use Greenhouse For Sweat Therapy

July 6, 2018 by Forum Member

Hi everyone, this is just something that has REALLY been helping me recently (in hot months)

[Before you try this consult your doctor as very very few people sometimes experience anaphylactic shock with some exercise/heat]

I’ve really wanted to try sweat therapy but have no sauna/gym near me, I’ve tried running and intense exercise, all help but I will always have to break into a scratch and the pain got a bit too much for me.

Then I tried turning my greenhouse into a sauna, you have to close all the vents (make sure there is a little air gap though to breathe) and it works perfectly as a sauna, especially when it’s very sunny.

I sweated absolute buckets in just 5-10 mins, then I found I didn’t itch anywhere near as bad for the rest of the day, found this is an easy thing to do, especially if you can’t afford a gym pass.

Good luck with your cholinergic urticaria everyone, keep trying new things and keep believing.

Antony

    Sweat therapy works plus Benadryl and prednisone

      Be careful using too much prednisone over a long time. My BP spiked (to be expected and it never made me feel bad). The worst was I suddenly (over a year) developed significant cataracts in both eyes…..eye dr said it was a direct result of the prednisone. The other thing was that my most recent very bad skin reaction (6 months ago) was caused directly by the drug since I had taken too many series. Ended up at the Mayo Clinic hospital where this was confirmed.

      At Mayo I was put into total body wet wraps (vinegar water or plain water soaked cloths wrapped over a thin layer of cortisone cream) three hours at a time, with an hour break, 24-7 for three days. Covered with blankets feet to neck including hands were wrapped.

      Immediate itch relief though the visible rash took much longer to disappear. Gradually decreased steroid cream continuing with moisturizer twice daily. They showed me how to continue at home with soaked long johns.

      I went from two 180 mg antihistamine (Zyrtec) tabs twice a day to occasionally. From two showers a day to one. Only spot application of steroid cream as needed. I know now that I’m very sensitive to chlorine so can no longer swim in pools as was my routine, even salt water pools — which really make me sick, but ocean or lakes are ok, I also installed a shower filter.

      I still itch slightly but rash and inflammation is gone. I continue with my health protocol — mild exercise, sun light, occasionally NIR light treatments, sauna, lots of cooked veggies, fruit, organic eggs and meats, probiotics, real salt, real food vitamins, some iodine. Try to keep elimination pathways clear—kidneys, liver, bowels. I make and take daily a kidney tea (parsley, asparagus, ginger, etc) and keep bowels regular including occasional coffee enemas.

      The Mayo treatment was in March. I have suffered urticaria for five years. My energy is not up to par and I no longer do regular yoga or jog, etc. Rest when you need to in between high energy days is so important and a positive attitude! But then I’m 70. ????

      Sorry for so much info, but you never know what may help someone else. The best of luck to all of you young people struggling with this condition!
