STEAM BATHS

    Mild steam baths were often recommended by Edgar Cayce to increase elimination of toxins through the skin and lungs.  This form of hydrotherapy is usually given in a steam cabinet.  A substance (such as witchhazel) is added to the boiling water in the cabinet to produce a vapor which settles over the body and is absorbed through the pores in the skin.  A hot and cold needle shower is typically used after the steam bath to cleanse the sweat and toxins from the skin.  A massage is then given to further relax the body and assist with eliminations.
