Even lying in the sun motionless in the early morning or just before dusk may be helpful. Prolonged neutral immersion baths at bed time on alternate days is beneficial. This bath is administered in a bath tub which should be properly fitted with hot and cold water connection. The bath-tub should be fitted with water at a temperature ranging from 92o to 98o F and the patient should lie in it for an hour or so. The head should be kept cold with a cold compress.
