If the element of fire doesn't resonate with you, how about considering the element of water instead?

The Greek physician Hippocrates (circa 460—377 b.c.e.), known as the Father of Medicine, learned about the healing properties of aromatic baths from the ancient Egyptians. He subsequently developed teachings about using water as a form of treatment, which he called hydropathy. In South America, they are known as Baños Florales and are a shamanic practice of cleansing.

The earliest written accounts of therapeutic bathing with herbal decoctions are found in the Indian Vedas (1500 BC) and ancient Babylonian medical texts (2300 BC).
