Hot bath, relaxing herbs for yin deficiency?

[Guest guest]

Sorry friends for my typos, I'm juggling the problem of adopting to an Apple

Macbook from my PC - so I've tried to correct them and hope to hear back on

this topic.

Supplementary to this, I have often wondered precisely what a Sauna (and

part II, followed traditionally by jumping in the snow or ice cold water

naked) does in terms of Chinese Medical physiology. Obviously, it very

powerfully opens the pores and triggers sweating, followed, in the case of

jumping in the snow, with closing the pores. It must invigorate the Wei Qi

circulation mechanism. Any other thoughts. When might one consider it

particularly indicated, contraindicated?
