There are some therapies done with hot water bath. Hot water basically is sterilized and free from bacterias so its been a hygiene issue of practice to have hot water bath. But not always this is needed, if we take a plain cool water bath is fine, its develops immunity and improves blood circulation. In indian system of ayurvedic medicine most of the treatment is based on the hot packs and hot water bath, hot tubs etc. This may be for the respective health problems, No hard and fast rules are there for the bath. Its upto peoples choice.

During cold season it is advisable to take a bath with warm water not hot water. It can help our body relax from coldness.

it feels nice, it's relaxing, it opens your pores so you can clean properly. how can anyone get any pleasure from a cold bath? that sounds horrible. and you won't get proper bubbles in cold water.

When I was a kid I used to take bath from hot water 12 months as my parents were worried that I shouldn't ctach cold anytime. As I grew up I was in habbit of taking bath with hot water only and I used to feel fresh with it. Even I have read it somewhere that taking bath from cold water is really helpful for our body . May be one day I will be able to take bath from cold water .lol

I love having a bath in hot water. It makes me feel really relaxed. I know it isn't that good for my body, but I enjoy it. I think that a cold bath isn't healthy either as it makes you really cold. I think you need to aim for something in between.
