Hydrotherapy for Flu
Promote sweating by taking hot baths, hot foot-baths and other heat therapies. Keep the feet warm at all times during sickness and as a preventive measure. Low body temperature decreases resistance to viruses and bacteria, while heat burns up and destroys the virus.
To warm feet, soak them for five to ten minutes in a hot mustard bath. Dissolve I tbsp. mustard powder in 4 cups of hot water.
A hot bath followed by a cold mitten friction rub, two to four times a day, loosens
congestion, improves circulation and strengthens the immune system, speeding
healing from the flu.
