Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Hello all. I am currently facing some serious health problems (undergoing lots of tests at Mayo Clinic). Although there is no diagnosis yet, I have been running high fevers on a regular basis since June. I started taking cold showers last week and they really help with my symptoms. I feel so much better for almost 6 hours afterwards! Because of this, I am tempted to take another cold shower in the afternoon but something is telling me that I should ask the group. (and my doctor...hee hee). Is is not recommended to take more than one cold shower per day? Anyone who has any knowledge on this subject, please respond. Namaste, Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 >From the "Ancient Art of Self Healing" by Yogiji and Dr. Amir " Cold Showers In the realm of physical hygiene, cold water showers are more important for a woman than a man. It should be preceded by an almond or olive oil massage. Her circulatory system must be activated early in the morning so she can have a glowing face, a graceful look and proper energy. Hot water showers make a woman depressed and over-relaxed. By nature she is creative but she will find herself unable to match up with her work and duties when she has a mental depression, cold or weakened circulation. The procedure is to have a cold shower during which she massages the body so the capillaries receive proper circulation. Therefore, for a woman, a hot bath or shower is almost prohibited or forbidden. It is only allowed in the form of lukewarm water during menstruation. A woman with knowledge, who knows how to preserve herself as a woman, who doesn't want an early menopause, who doesn't want to imbalance her menstruation, and who doesn't want to have skin problems and diminish her glow will never take a hot bath or shower." I've known women who took nothing but cold or cool showers, morning or evening. There are evenings where I will take a cold shower just to reverse my mood/polarity.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Thank you for the information and for giving me the source of it! May have permission to forward this message to my twin sister and cherished friend? This information would be very useful for them. (And convince them that I am not totally insane for taking cold showers! Heck! It might even get them to try one of their own and you know what happens when you try one.....!)
