sand bath
Dry particle immersion
A sand bath is a container of heated sand used in laboratories and cooking to transfer heat gently and evenly to vessels placed in it.
The sand distributes temperature more uniformly than direct flame, preventing hot spots.
In spas and traditional medicine, a sand bath involves burying the body in warm sand for therapeutic purposes: The beach resort offered hot sand baths.
