Hot & Cold Hypotherapy (shower)

if you need a good perk

hot/cold showers have the following positive effects:

*Brings blood to the capillaries, therefore increasing circulation throughout the body.

*Cleans the circulatory system.

*Reduces blood pressure on internal organs.

*Provides flushing for the organs and provides a new supply of blood.

*Strengthens the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.

* Contracts the muscles to eliminate toxins and poisonous wastes.

* Strengthens the mucous membranes, which help resist hay fever, allergies, colds, coughs.

Many health problems are reduced or even eliminated over time by providing proper circulation of the blood to the affected area using the cold shower massage

I usually stand with my back to the shower every morning with the hot water hitting my back until it runs out everyday. Kind of a waste of money in gas to heat it but really gets me awake and ready for the day, plus loosens me up if I am tight (my muscles not my ***) from the day before.

TROOF......I always use a certain method a nurse told me to do when I was about to yak in the doctors office.

Instead of taking a cold shower, the next time you feel overheated or sick from drinking or what not, run both your wrists under really cold water. Works wonders.
