Sand baths in the sun: These baths are extremely beneficial for making the humours dry that are clogged in the skin. Such a kind of bath may be executed in different ways: a person may bury themself in sand, sit on it or sprinkle the sand on their body.

The principal book attributed to Trotula is entitled: De morbis mulierum et eorum cura. In this treatise we would refer to the advice given to take sand baths on the sea shore in order to reduce flesh, this being accomplished by the perspiration produced by the heat. The chapter on the care of the newly born and the chapter on the choice of a nurse, as well as hygiene and the feeding of infants, are not to be despised. Trotula gives particular attention to dentition and teaching the child to speak.

A stock solution of compound 3 in DMSO (3.0 mg/mL) was prepared. To a test tube containing 0.9 ml of the corresponding Acetate (pH = 2.0) or PBS buffer solution (pH = 7.4 and 8.0, respectively), 0.1 ml of stock solution was added, and the mixture stirred and thermostated in a sand bath at 37 °C. Aliquots (0.1 ml) were withdrawn at specific time intervals and transferred to sample vials containing acetonitrile (0.9 ml). The percentage of compound remaining was followed by HPLC analysis. The retention time (tR) of compound 1, 2, and 3 were 0.74, 0.89, and 0.95 min, respectively. All the experiments were performed in triplicate.

The aluminium was analysed by the wet acid digestion method of Zumkley (Tapia et al., 1981) in the brain. A mixture of 2.5 ml of perchloric acid/nitric acid (1:4 by volume) was added to the tissue and then placed in a sand bath at 40–50 °C for 44 h until the point where a white ash or residue was obtained. Residues were then dissolved in 2.5 ml of 10 mM nitric acid. Next, this sample (in liquid form) was placed in the sample holder of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The total concentration of aluminium was calculated in μg/g of tissue
