1. Warm the body, especially the feet. Have a sauna if possible. Sweating helps to eliminate viruses and toxins. To avoid re-infection, shower or bathe in hot water and avoid becoming chilled. When exposed to cold weather, keep the whole body warm, especially the head and feet. Avoid wearing synthetic materials, which hinder the skin’s ability to function. Natural materials, such as cotton, silk, and wool better enable the skin to breathe and function.
In addition to natural sunshine, one of the best ways to warm the body and promote circulation is with a Biomat, which produces far infrared radiant heat. This is the deep penetrating warmth that we also receive from sunshine. The far infrared produced from the super conducting natural amethyst and tourmaline crystals in the Biomat, make it superior to infrared lamps, stones, and saunas. The Biomat also produces negative ions, which help the body heal on a cellular level and feel both relaxed and revitalized.
2. Bathe in sunshine without sunglasses for at least one hour daily. Longer would be better a long as you don’t burn your skin. Wearing a hat can protect your face. AVOID sunscreen/sunblock, which prevents vitamin D formation.
Expose yourself to full-spectrum or natural daylight as long as possible each day. Sunshine and full-spectrum/natural daylight radiate ultra violet light, which kills viruses and bacteria. Daily exposure of the skin’s natural oils to UVB sunshine helps the body produce vitamin D (actually a hormone) and nitric oxide, which greatly strengthens the immune system to protect against illness or disease. When plants don’t get enough full-spectrum daylight, they soon become diseased and eventually die. The human body is no different.
Organic gardeners and artists who work long ours in sunlight/full spectrum daylight have among the longest life spans of any profession. The sun itself is not the problem. Damage and sunspots occur when sunlight reacts with chemicals, including caffeine and medications in the body. Plus, skin cancers are more prevalent in people who live in cooler, temperate regions than along the equatorial region.
