I found this info on another forum.. 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 mback sideage. "Ishnan" is the term used in the old days when people in India referred to cold showers (very cold showers). "Ishnan" is the point at which the body, by its own virtue, creates the temperature that it can beat off the coldness of the water. This happens when the capillaries open with the onset of the cold water. They close again during the course of the cold shower and it is at that point that all the blood rushes back to flush the organs and the glands. This process allows the glands to renew their secretions and "youth" (i.e. young glands) again returns to the body.
