Do doctors still order rest cures at the seaside or taking the waters at mineral hot springs?
Seems so relaxing

My ideal world is probably the totally fake one Hercule Poirot lived in where this sort of thing went on

The past is always way worse in recorded history than fiction. This sounds awful too

To be fair, that sounds much like EST, just a whole lot less efficient -- EST took two weekends rather than 6 weeks.
And most people apparently loved it, even though it did the same "breaking you down" thing.
Maybe most people liked rest cures, only the whiners wrote about it?
