Sounds frooty as all get out but in archeology field school we did the Tlingit purification thing of repeated sweats in a wikiup and then you jump into the salt water...It gave me some of the most outstanding hallucinations I've had, chemistry or no...did I mention you whip yourself with nettles too?
