Hi, I’ve been taking cold showers for about 3 years now and wouldn’t have it any other way. One of the benefits not mentioned is the fact that the shower taken when getting out of bed takes you from that glorious ‘duvet warmth forcefield’ feeling to wide awake in a second flat, whereas if you take one just before retiring (going to bed, not stopping work ), it aids immediate and restful sleep, going from a cold shower to under a lovely warm duvet. – great stuff!!
I found getting straight in there is the best way – I run the shower on cold, so it’s as cold as the water supply – v.cold in cold winters and mildly cold in the summer. I believe it’s all a matter of perception – I choose not to perceive cold as painful. It does feel great and I believe it does me good as well. I actually get tetchy if I find myself having to shower at a place that only provides hot water, such as in camping sites with pre-paid meters or leisure centres

A friend of mine told me about showering or submerging into a cold water to boost metabolism. So I did in our unheated pool, probably 50-60 degrees. It’s so icy cold. Actually today was my 2nd day. Yesterday as my first try, I was so hyper active the whole day and I was still wide awake ’til 2am. My energy were soring.
Now, I learned about these amazing benefits of cold showers… wow.. everything that my body needs, can be helped through this process.
I will continue doing this. I still felt great and relaxed!

I wasn’t aware that there were so many benefits of having a cold shower. I do like a cold shower during the summer as my place does get too hot at times. Not too sure if I could handle having a cold shower every day but I will give it a go most days.

Thanks for the comment. Do you recall the book by chance?

I found an old book of my mothers from the 80′s that recommended going warm to cold 3 times for 30 seconds and then finishing on cold for energy and wellness. I do it once at the end of my shower for the last minute, and find that dancing vigorously helps me get over the cold…

Very glad to know about the health benefits of cold showering! I’m having to cold shower all the time now because I can’t afford the $150 or $200 for an electrician to replace my water heater breaker for the next couple of months, maybe longer…(my stove is also not working from the same breaker). I’ve been trying to just shower every other day because it really has been a shock to the system but I’m gradually getting used to it because I have to and hopefully I will get some health benefits from it because I do have some health challenges.

I’ve been cold showering for about a month. It’s a great libido stimulator. My testicles “feel” healthier, and sexually I feel like I am 20 again. I’m 34 years old.

I started taking 100% cold showers about three weeks ago. It’s been a blast! Just stand beneath the shower faucet, turn on the cold water full bore, and then, whammo!, rotate the middle faucet that delivers the water to the faucet, and shout, “Geranimo!”. Every muscle in my body is tense and I rapidly rub my fingers through my hair to wet down completely, shouting to myself, “Embrace it, embrace it, just embrace it!” Then the water is turned off. I soap down, shave, and take the final plunge to rinse off, leaving the shower feeling totally invigorated and alive. Viva cold showers!
