In western Egypt, some people bury themselves in the sand to treat diseases. Is this really useful?
It has certain curative effect on arthritis, rheumatism and other diseases.

Why Egypt has this method of sand bathing is handed down from history, because the temperature of sand is very high. Until the desert is irradiated by the sun, especially when the sun is warmest, the temperature of sand can reach nearly 60 degrees, and people will feel hot when they step on it, not to mention lying all over.

It may be due to the lack of medical means in ancient Egypt. At that time, there may be a person who buried himself in the sand. It can be said that he accidentally cured some of his joint problems by fighting poison with poison, and then this method was handed down, because the most important thing in Egypt is sand. This method is simple and easy to use. Moreover, people also believe that pain will definitely be rewarded, so I always feel that since I have experienced this burning pain, my illness will definitely get better.

But medicine pays attention to symptomatic treatment, aiming at the cause of treatment. Faith is good, but it may not be effective for many diseases. Egyptians believe that sand bath can cure many diseases, even male impotence and female infertility. I don't know how to understand this meaning. Hot doesn't necessarily mean good. When they take a sand bath, they usually bury their bodies completely, leave a head outside, and then use a sunshade to protect themselves from the sun.

China's records about sand bathing, especially Chinese medicine, must be profound. Wind and Leng Xia are wet, and the heat of sand bath is considered to have therapeutic effect on rheumatism, which is of great benefit to joints. But compared with the pain of this sand bath, I don't think many people will choose this extreme method to treat it. After all, the method may not be useful, and there are other drugs that can treat rheumatism.
