This is a great thing that has nothing to do with tea, but will also help you maintain a good health.
First of all I want to talk about the advantages of cold showers and hot baths.
I will begin with cold showers. Cold showers have a great healing effect on muscles and joints, but not only. When you take a cold shower you force your body and heart to pump more blood through your veins. When you take a cold shower your arteries will dilate and more blood will reach your muscles, bones, joints, tissue and organs.
Also the lactic acid in you muscles can give you a bad feeling, you will feel tired all the time and your legs will feel like they weight a ton. The first effect that you have after taking a cold shower, that appears in about 10-15 minutes afterwords is that you will feel your body temperature rising, this is due to a high blood pressure.
Also you must take into consideration not to do cold showers when you are cold, dizzy or you have any acute illnesses because this could only worsen your health.
How and when to take a cold shower?
The best moment of the day when to take a cold shower is in the morning right after you’ve woken up. You will start off with worm water and then slightly turn it into cold water in intervals of 2 minutes. When you reached the bottom line of the water temperature (that is when you can’t support the water if it was colder) maintain that temperature for 5-7 minutes.
After you finish your shower grab a nice dry towel and dry yourself very good before you but on some worm clothes.
Now lets talk about hot baths. Those kind of baths are recommended when you feel week, tired or when you feel you are getting a cold. This kind of treatment helps conserve and regenerate the natural resources of our body.
However there are some warnings about hot baths. For example the temperature of the water should not be above 41 degrees C, but this differs from person to person. Some people can support 39 degrees while other get dizzy because of the steam and the hot water.
Also it is not recommended to take hot baths if you have hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, cardiac ischemia, stroke, thrombosis or illnesses of this kind.
So how do we prepare and take a hot bath?
Very simple. The initial temperature of the water should be somewhere about 36-37 degrees and then after we get in the tub we constantly rise the temperature of the water, but not above 41 degrees.
The time spent in the water should be around 10-20 minutes, 20 being the maximum time allowed, so to say.
After you get out of the water you should avoid any contact with currents or cold air.
The moment of the day when it is most recommended to take a hot bath is in the evening before going to bed.
