guv Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 a study was done in germany to the effects of having cold showers. a control group was instructed to have their normal hot showers as usual. a test group was told to have a hot shower, then at the end have a 'cold blast' for a couple of minutes. after 6 months, they found that the test group had suffered half as many colds & minor infections as the control group, because the cold showers actually boosted their immune systems. i also saw a program on tv once about people who live in siberia. they came outside in the freezing cold in nothing more than swimming costumes & each person had a bucket of cold water thrown over them :shock: . apparently it was an age old technique they had of boosting their immune systems!! so cold showers are good for u!! there's a couple of tricks u can use to make it easier... either bring your body slowly into the water, start of with feet & legs first etc (a moveable shower head is brilliant for this) or start of with tepid water & slowly decrease the temperature. u shouldnt have too cold a shower or stay for too long in the shower because u'll stop all blood flow to your skin. trust me, sounds silly & unbelievable, but after a week of having cold showers, u wont want to go back to hot showers!!! & the feeling u get after showering of your warm blood working its way back into ur skin is amazing!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double_edge Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 i started taking them ages ago.. the first time i did it it was coz our boiler had conked out.. initially its hard, but i got used to it pretty quick. now its the standard and i dont find it hard at all. in fact, the only time i really use hot water when im washing my Kesh, and even then i finish off with cold water coz my nani said its good for u . the only other time i use hot water is if my muscles feel tense or knotted. i think the trick is, as with many other things, not to make it a big deal.. dont be "OH MY GOD, I HAVE TO TAKE A COLD SHOWER!".. just make it the norm. u'll adapt sooner than u think, and it can be surprisingly refreshing and even relaxing once u get used to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niranjana Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I did this for about 6 months last summer...after that it backfired on me! I would recommend keeping the cold showers short and sweet, consider using Badaam Rogan (almond oil) prior to going into the shower and have a good warm towel to hand afterwards and make sure your Bathroom isn't freezing cold (like mine without any source of heat!) which was the cause of my problems! Otherwise alternating showers are great and work just as well over a period of time regardless of the 3HO cold-showerites may insist on the matter! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihal_Kaur Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 lol this brings back memories I was in india this summer and it was boiling hot, but I couldnt start the day without a cold shower. The fresh...cool...shock to the system was really much much better than a warm/hot bath like my mum used to have. The only thing is...in England the prospect doesn't seem so refreshing when its black outside and its freezing in the house and bathroom...ah well..I've been inspired! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
