The therapeutic practice of burying a person in hot sand for healing purposes, historically used in some cultures for medical treatment.
From Latin 'arena' (sand) + '-ation' (action or process), describing the act of using sand therapeutically.
Ancient healers discovered that hot sand therapy could ease joint pain and arthritis—it's thermotherapy that's been around longer than modern medicine, and some spa treatments still use this principle today!
