Like if you just took away the mercury, it's a sauna, right?

It's just a simple sauna treatment.

And we've all enjoyed that.

You know, we pay to go to a spa for the day and stick ourselves wrapped in blankets.

But we don't smear ourselves in poisonous substances first.

So they were so close.

But it probably looked like it worked.

Don't try this at home.

Also, can we make a nod to the fact that this feels very much like the male takeover of medicine?

Because you know that maybe even 100 years prior to that, the women were saying, what I'm going to do is I'm going to wrap you in basil.

And then I'm going to wrap you in blankets.

I'm going to shut the door.

And we're going to sweat you out with basil.

And that would have had a better effect.

They were using plants and nature.

Here's a bit of willow bark.

Oh, my God, my pain's gone.

Aspirin.

You know, and then the men came in and went, no, it needs to be red meat for the black bile.

Wait, so were we doing that on women in their first trimester because we didn't know they were pregnant?
