Does anybody sit in a sauna with PMR and does it help with relaxation and ease pain

Not only does a dry sauna help with the symptoms (pain and inflammation) but it does significantly more than that. It help rid the body of toxicity through sweating. None of us will ever know exactly what caused our PMR, we only know what potential causes might be. Too much antibiotic, environmental toxins, innability to detoxify, leaky gut... list goes on and on. The dry sauna was very beneficial to me. Make sure you shower off after you use it...Rinse of the sweat so things to absorb right back into your skin.

The most important thing you can do is completely change what you put into your body.

Tried that for about a month with the red light therapy it helped for about two hours then pain came back I’m glad it helps you though

There is no silver bullet for PMR or any inflammatory autoimmune. I tried everything under the sun. What works is a sustained protocol overtime and each part of it builds towards healing and pain/inflammation reduction until you get better.

1. Die, especially anti inflammatory foods, etc.
2. Stretching and Exercise - bikram's hot yoga is very good
3. Dry Sauna - 15 minutes a day
4. Probiotics

There are more things you can do but the #1 most import thing is an anti imflammatory diet. A very strict one.
