Do you have cold bath?

China
January 10, 2011 11:48pm CST
So far,I have been persisting in having cold bath for 25 years.Every morning I get up early (evening in summer)and do some warm-up exercise slightly then go to bathroom to have a cold bath.Here,the minimum temperature registers minus 5 degree centigrade in winter in recent years.Each time I do it the bathroom is steaming.AS for cold bath each sticks to his own version or argument.However,the cold bath makes me full of vigour all day long and catch very few cold. dear mylotters ,do you like cold bath ? if any ,let's exchange experience about it.

Yes I do the very same everyday of my life Chang. I shower in hot, then rinse in very very cold and it is so invigorating. It releases energy in my body and I am able for the day. I learned this from an English nurse many years ago.

That's great! having cold bath at -5 degrees is really great. Sometimes back I had similar posting wanted to know about people persisting with cold bath even in winter season but in my post I had excluded the people staying in areas with temperature less than 10 degrees but you are now saying you take a cold bath at -5 degrees. I did manage to take a cold bath in Kashmir once although just by accident. I was staying in a 'shikara', a house boat in dal lake with my friends and as usual I was last to take a bath and suddenly in midst of my bath hot water finished and I had to continue with cold bath. That was an experience. In my area where 15 degrees temperature is unbearable cold, I take cold bath throughout for the past many years now and I have found myself free of chronic cold I used to suffer when I was taking warm water bath. Also cold water bath freshens my mornings.

I never tried having cold bath in my life even in the hot summer. I'm the kind of person who likes warm weather instead of cold weather. I know having cold bath is much good to health, but I haven't tried yet. You do such a good job in persisting it. I believe the cold bath brings you full of vigour. Happy New Year.

YES!! It is not the bath but I do take very warm shower, then the very freezing cold to invigorate the body. I never catch cold either. I too have been doing this for about the same amount of years. One time a nurse in the hospital told me to do this and I did then many years ago. Good health to you Chang!!

Thank you ! Shower that alternates between cold water and warm water is even better for health than just cold water.Persevering with it is no mean feat !

Yikes! Cold water would never rinse the shampoo from my hair. I'd rather not take a cold bath ever. Brrrr!

although i live in a tropical country i was never used to having cold bath. i like warmer bath than cold. in the first place im having a hard time withstanding anything cold. i tried it a few times of cold bath during the holy week last year but i never enjoyed the bath. besides i hardly breathe during the whole bath when i did. happy mylotting!

I have never experienced taking a cold bath before. I just don't think i could enjoy the water if it was not warm. Even the thoughts of a cold bath during the winter season are making me cold.

Hello! No , i don't want a cold bath during colder days because Im a kind of person that is very easy to get cough and colds. I wanted a cold bath during summer only, when my body needs to freshen up and throw away all the heat that it accumulates from the hot weather. I must congratulate you for doing one thing that I couldn't resist, and that is to take a bath with a very cold water while the weather is cold as well. Have a nice day!

hmmm...hi I do take cold bath. But not with that much regularity. and i was amazed to know that you are taking cold bath at that temp and from that long. And i too believe that it gives a good feeling after taking the cold bath. BUT that temperature cannot be imaginable.... have nice time.
