Well, if I'm doing in the bathtub, what I do is I fill it halfway with scalding water for 10 minutes, it will heat the whole bathtub. Then I put lukewarm water and bring it up to about 112° and then I let that sit for about two minutes.
Then I put my ingredients: my milk, my sea salt, or Epsom salt, one or the other and the vinegar and I'll let that sit in there 7 minutes to neutralize the poisons. And then right before I get in, I put my 2 - 3 tablespoons of coconut cream.

What about the milk?
[Aajonus]
I put the milk, the sea salt or the Epsom salt and the vinegar in at 110°.
Then I get in 7 minutes later, which is about 108°, 107° and then it takes 20 minutes for it to drop down to 102°. Then I'll let 2 inches of water out.
[Attendee]
I can go 40 minutes.
[Aajonus]
Really? That's terrific.
[Attendee]
And I have a very accurate digital thermometer.
[Aajonus]
That's what I use.
[Attendee]
They work really well. The ones from your website. Got nice big reading on there and I checked them out against other ones and they're very accurate.
[Aajonus]
Yes, I agree.
[Attendee]
They're off like only maybe 2/10ths of a degree at most.

Where do you get it?
[Attendee]
[Aajonus]
From my product list.
So, then I'll let out 2 inches and when I get out down to 1 inch, then I'll run the hot water, just hot water and I funnel the cold water that's coming outta the hot water tap down to the drain like this, so the cold water doesn't disperse out right to the rest of the tub. Have water not caught in cold, right behind like that.
[Attendee]
My hot water heater is right behind my bath tub.
[Aajonus]
Oh, so it heats almost instantly. You could let yours almost down to the end of 2 inches.
[Attendee]
I only let it down about 3 inches and I can bring it back up to about 107°.
[Aajonus]
But that's a whole three inches. I only let it out two inches and then raise it two inches with the hot water.
When I'm putting the hot water in, as soon as I get down that last inch, then I plug the drain and switch the water around until it gets up to about 108° again.
[Attendee]
You can't stay under water while that hot water's coming in?
[Aajonus]
No, I'm sitting up, moving it. It's too freaking hot in my feet.
[Fred]
You're still doing hot baths now?
[Aajonus]
Absolutely. I've not even seen my 40 years yet.
I still have lymphatic congestions in my irises, show up in my eye. Not a lot, but still in strategic places, especially along my back where they did all that radiation therapy.
