Hot Baths VS Cold Showers

The curative powers of water have been known since ancient times: archaeologists have identified bathing places where early cave dwellers treated the sick.

We used water for also everything.....drinking, bathing..... No wonder, Water is called the essence of life.

Hot Baths

A warm bath relaxes the muscles & eases pain. A hot bath serves the same purpose & also promotes sweating, which removes impurities from the body.

Cold Showers

A cold shower in the morning & at night increases muscle tone, speeds up metabolism, stimulates circulation & the glands, strengthens the nervous system, increases hormone production, improves digestion, builds up resistance to colds & infections, helps to prevent premature ageing & keeps you younger.

They were a popular health measure in the 19th century.

**I always take warm showers but now I think I will start having the cold showers. "prevent premature aging....." are the magic words! hahaha.....
