@Imaillusion posted a new topic, subject "Would u ever do cold shower therapy?". It read:

   I had a shower on the coldest setting today for 5 minutes. When I got out I felt really happy. Thinking maybe it does help depression

After which, @firemonkey added

    We used to have cold showers as punishments when I was at public school. It really woke you up at first , but by lunchtime you were really tired.

@naturallycured replied

    Wim Hof, a guy who climbed Mt. Everest in a pair of shorts only, uses cold exposure to train others to do similar things. He suggests things like taking a bath in the coldest water setting, and breathing therapy.
    
    I tried it for a few days but it was too much fuss, I wasn't feeling much better from my headache symptoms either.

    I don't think I can do cold showers I'm not strong enough to take it unless my life depends on it or something, are they good for you??

To which @Mountainman replied

    If there is anything I hate its cold, hate winter and cold showers

After which, @Stickman added

    Last time I tried taking a cold shower my body was going into shock with panicky breathing.

Then @SkinnyMe said

    I would never do a cold bath or shower. I hate the cold too much. I live in a climate of very cold in winter and very hot and muggy in the summer and I don't want to impose any more misery than that on myself.

After which, @Imaillusion added

    Yes they r supposed to b really good for the immune system and some other things I can't remember now

After which, @Schizophrenic added

    I take cold showers everyday and it really wakes you up and you feel energised. I live in South Florida so it's pretty hot and the cold showers help you stay cool plus there are a lot of benefits to cold showers as well. If you google benefits of cold showers you'll see all the information that's out there.

    Only if the “smokin' hot blonde therapy” I had been trying for a session of became unavailable.

So @mike23 replied

    I do contrast showers to improve recovery from working out. Gets blood moving

To which @FatMama replied

    I hate showering at the best of times. I'd likely never shower again if I had to take a cold one. Winter is awful enough.

After which, @chordy added

    I heard that the cold water forces the blood to circulate to the internal, so that it's really good for your organs. I always rinse off in cold water. It is invigorating to me.
