basically you lay on your right side and turn your head at a 45 deg angle for a 30 second count, then sit up straight for a 30 second count then lay on your left side with your head at 45 degrees for a 30 second count. Do 5 reps of these, twice a day. There is a little bit more but she explains it better. I was amazed how quickly it worked for me with only 3 sessions. I'll be at 13 sessions when I do them tonight and will continue for a while.

My original curiosity was more about whether Osage benefitted from doing the same type of heat treating/fire hardening as is done with hickory - as an example. Sounds like it can - but needs to be done more carefully than other woods if I'm understanding correctly?
time and temperature in various proportions
nobody does it the same and each have their own expectations for success
there is some evidence that heat treated wood is resistant to moisture uptake, as it is used in some places to replace chemically treated wood to prevent rot (moisture is needed for rot)
