be a little overbearing. And they also said, I think
you're wrong. They also said there's like living organisms in
it because they have to keep like like stirring it
so that the living organisms don't don't die. And it's
like the gristle from steak and egg shells and like

the hard part of the broccoli and toilet.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Paper rejuvenate in the healing alchemy of the cedar enzyme bath.

they give you a cold water, probably with cucumbers in it,
and they'll put a cold compress on your forehead and
you just sit in there and sweat.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
But they said it's real hot.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
The woman said, I'm reading this article and it made
me think of you. I have no idea you've ever
done that?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Cedar, rice brand and enzyme?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right, what's enzyme? Didn't they say that this is like that. Yes,
there's a lot of wood in there.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I said, it's a culture like like like a baker
would care for their sour dough starter. It's a culture
that sort of is what mixes with all the stuff
to go.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
They said they have to keep that a lot.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, because it's fermentation, that's the heat.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
But inside the culture, aren't there like little like microbes
and like living organized It's nothing.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
I felt like, it's not like I felt a.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Cockroach crawling across that big not that big, but I
bet you had like millions of little microbes.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
I was just like, what is this? And I have
no reservations about doing it?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Are you serious?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Now?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
It was awesome?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Can I ask you this?

I mean I definitely remember being side by side with
my other friend and.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
You guys are just sitting there cooter like the horn.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
And then we went and we went outside and had
tea and I believe I got a massage there that
brought me to tears. She was releasing some.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Stuff, right, the bugs that just climbed in.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
No, no, no, it was. It was such like a
muscle release that I actually started to cry. That says
for the I go back to that place in a
heartbeat for the bath, though.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
It says you.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Can be buried up to your neck or have your
arms out if it's more comfortable for you.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Which way I feel like we had. I feel like
we had our arms out. Pasteurize.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, if you get too hot, your arms do come out.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Why is it hot? Is the room hot? Where is
the is the is the cost?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I think it's it's the compost.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
What's the smell like?

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh, I told you it smelled like woody.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Give me your nose and let me pull my pants down.
It smells like buttole No, not at all. They said
the smell can be overwhelming.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I just remember it because you know, I hate certain
types of mulch. It's the worst time of the year.
But this, the smell didn't bother me. It just smelled
like woody.

Speaker 4 (05:38):

across your neck. You do know Samundra, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:54):

Speaker 4 (05:59):
She brings you ice cold water.

Speaker 1 (06:00):

Peeled a cucumber that's out there. I peeled the carrot.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Some of the wool from my socks fell off. That's
in there.

The West Coast friends like some stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
And I was dian, warning, don't do this at the
Do you see fine?

Speaker 3 (06:29):
How fine the texture of the stuff is though? Those
are all the micro organisms? Yeah, yeah, those are bugs.
It's not bugs, and it's not eggshells and cucumber peel.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
How long are you in there?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Oh? It's an hour? Is it that hour? Yes, it's
an hour? Is that safe? They say? Again?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
They hot, they have you drink. I mean you can
get out if you don't. If you don't, if you
don't like to be in it for that long. But
I guess beautiful. The grounds are how it's hard to
tell how how large is this property. I don't feel
like it's very large.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
So like so that little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Really nice coy pond and all of like like bonzeye
trees and very manicured.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Is that the blue things right there? Is that like
a little like like lounge chair, like.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
A little mat that you would go sit on and
just look out onto the greenery?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Oh god, and meditate. I didn't you just talking quiet?
So you get out. You've got You're just you've got?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Are we going to the winery?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Sext okay, got compost mung all over you?

Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, Then you shower off, and then you sit out
there with like the sunbeams show.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Off, and then you're out there with your robe on.
I like some hip I mean usually I'm not much
into the hippie dippy stuff. This kind of stuff if
it's wellness and massage.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
All in Known in Japan as an ion bath, it
combines many spa treatments and one a heated weighted feeling
to relax and sue the body.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Was it heavy?

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah? And a calming aroma therapy to peak the senses.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's earthy, which so how long has this place been here?

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Well, well I told you I went in two thousand
and two. What does it say for their history?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
It probably started growing the culture in two thousand and one.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
The first known cedar bath was established in the forties
in Japan.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
The forties. Here we had the Japanese ran up.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
It looks like the guy that brought it to California
brought it there in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Oh, Johnny, compost scam.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
If it's still open, they're doing something.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Right, Diane. There's a woman with a pitch for it.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Whatever, it's clean, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yes? Just minutes from the vineyards? Thank you?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
So? How that's that is a samundra? She doesn't look
like she may have been your attention now. She looks
a little young.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Also side note, also doesn't look like she's wearing a bra.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
What she's she's hanging a little bit. That's okay. It's
very hippy. Diane didn't have a bra on when she went.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Now.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
But they don't pitchfork while you're in there. It's only
when you get out.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I feel like they may they kind of like help
cover you up when you get in.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh, so you're not just nude?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah she is no, no, but they helped took her.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
But they helped. You don't do it yourself.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, they helped. Yeah, they helped to like cover you up,
bringing there, let me cover your nipples.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Oh. It says the spas stuff is responsible for keeping
the mixture from becoming hygienically dubious.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
So is that what the mixing is by replacing it
and churning it multiple times a day, ensuring there's enough
oxygen to keep that activity moving.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
And they point to.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
There's billions of Woranism's feeding up.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Thank you, thank you. It's a living culture. Eh.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
And then it ate your nipples. Do they tell you
that you can't and I'm asking serious, because it's compost
and it's trash.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Do they tell you, because you're.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
In there for an hour that if you have to pee,
you can just dribble it out?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I don't record.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
I mean, I bet you can't dump? Oh what is
that that?

Speaker 4 (10:25):
It's an enzyme infused t.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh, so they just scoop it the thing that you're
sitting in and had water.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I can't believe she's been here. That's so crazy, and
when what great firsthand accounting of the But you.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Would go, Ye, is there a place here or is
this like total West Coast?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I don't know. I mean this. I told you I
did it once, and I did it at this place.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
As my friend and I sat robe clad, staring out
at a glass door that opened to a private zen garden.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Which I hear is small compared to what the pictures
look like.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
I contemplated my imminent encounter with the compost. I'm an
avid gardener who has dusted my plants with composts and
brewed her own kombucha. Oh God, before even I felt
a trickle of hesitation at being smothered to fill a
bacteria laden mulch.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Diane, thank you. That's what it is. It's it's it's
a culture.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Oh yeah, it does, say Samundra will shovel you, cover
you up, don't watch you titties out.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
The front is smaller than you'd expect.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
The uh.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
I don't want to call it a storefront, but it's
a spa front.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Did you buy anything there? They have merch?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I did get that. I still use one of those
one of those heat up neck pillows that you throw
and it smells like cloves and you put it in
the microwave for like a minute thirty and then you
just sit on your shoulders and it loosened. Jeb I
love it.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Now, you know you and I the hippie thing. It
is clothes.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Oh no, this isn't the clothes that you're smoking, but
it does have.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
That smoke while you're in the compost.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
You probably would set yourself on fire.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
About that.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
If anyone is thinking of booking an appointment, you're going
to be in Diane's mulch? Is it hard to get
out of your hair?

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Gets it.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Probably had her hair up in like ponytails or something.
I would imagine it probably wouldn't pony tails.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
You don't wear pony tails.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
But if you want to keep your hair off of your.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Neck, I thought you met pigtails.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
No, no, God, where the pigtails do it?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's worse than your old man haircut.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
An old man, no her old.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh most miserable.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Joe would love that place.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
What he hated your haircuts? Oh dear, thank
