online everywhere it says during a die off a great way to releive symptoms is to suana and sweat it out but can't this itself cause a herx as well? Does anyone use a suana when their herxing to help or is this a bad idea

I would try it. Try a short time at a manageable heat and see how you feel. I wish I had access to a sauna!

Sweating will detox you, but put it on the lowest temperature to keep you sweating, but hopefully not enough to kill the critters, so don't stay in a long time. At least that's what I would do if I was able to use one.

I purchased an IR sauna about 8 months ago & try to use it daily or at the minimum every few days. I don't know how it would effect a herx. I don't know if this is good or bad, but I have been on antibiotics for over a year & not experienced a herx. I can tell you I feel better after being in the sauna. The heat temporarily eases muscle & joint stiffness plus sweating all the toxins & whatever else out of my body helps. I'll set it to 143 degrees & sit in it for 45 minutes or so. If first starting out do a lower temp & time & build up from there. Your body will let you know when its had enough.

I also use an IR sauna daily, and it releives my symptoms temporary. I cannot say it is because of detoxing, or some other mechanism, but I fell better after20-30 minutes in 45-50C.
