I like to use cold water in the morning to bathe but some people cant bathe unless its hot water.Are there advantages to using one over the other ?.Some people feel hot water massages the joints and removes aches and pains .I like cold water because it serves to remove all the sleep form my bones and I usually feel fresher during the day. What say you ?

I love hot water for showers and baths. I relaxes me so much and wakes me up. It's also great for when I have a headache. It helps ease all the tension.

Well ,about 3 years ago,I liked using hot water to take bath,for it is more comfortable .But about one year ago,I suddenly found it helpful to use cold water.Although it is cold in winter,using cold water is benefit to health.I have never got cold since I keep taking cold water bath.

Hi Not for me warm is good to wake up slowly ,cold water is such as a shock to your system.If you want to do it properly you should have a warm bath to open the pores of your skin and then straight into the cold bath to shut up the pores.

i think we must use hot water during morning, becuase its more cold at the morning and the hot water will help you to fastly recover from your sleep but if you use cold water in a cold morning for a bath it will help you to recover from your sleep completely. simply speeking you must use hot water during cold weather and cold water during hot season

it depends on the weather, but most of the time i use warm water in bathing.. it's beccause i take my bath early in the morning and i find the atmosphere cold:) During summer, since our country is naturally warm, it tends to get really hot so i use cold water for bathing.. It's just a matter of feeling the atmosphere,lol:)

Neither of the two but I guess you meant warm bath instead. I always use warm water when I do take a shower, it really feels good and it is soothing. It makes me relax and my body is so light when I finished my shower.

for me it depends on the season, if its summer i would prefer cold water. if it is winter season, i will go with hot water. i will be happy and active when i take bath with cold water. when i take bath with hot water, i fell lazy and drowsy.

I like to bath in both waters that is hot and cold....... But, it depends up the season...... During, sunny days, I prefer to bath in the cold water even in the night time.... coz, there will be more sweating in sunny days...... But, in the winter and rainy days, I prefer to bath in the warm water but, not in the hot water......

I used cold water even in the early morning to bathe. I think cold water make me fresh since early morning and it can remove sleep and totally wake me up!

I usually stick with hot water in the morning when I shower, but when I wash my face in the morning I use cold water. The only time I bathe with cold water generally is in the summertime.
