[QUOTE="namjiwankaur, post: 169351, member: 13793"] Its interesting that the Discovery article shows that it is like a mini-ect effect. I have chronic mental illness which includes depression. A family member had ect several times for her depression. I will have to mention this to her. I'm also looking forward to seeing what it does for all the aches and pains I have since that was also mentioned as an added benefit. Thankfully, its summer so I can deal with getting used to this. Brrrrrr! LOL icecreamkudi One thing I've noticed in the past few years was how water feels like it cleanses not just the dirt off the skin, but maybe the build-up of soured and jaded energy. It does somehow renovate the spirit as well as the body. As always, Ishna ji. TY peacesignkaur QUOTE=Ishna;169348]There is a lot of scientific evidence that suggests exposure to cold water is very beneficial for us. How cold is the issue! In parts of Europe they actually have saunas and then cool pools they dunk themselves into. You see some groups who swim in the ice water! We've got groups of old people in my country who go to the beach at the crack of dawn rain, hail or shine for a quick dip in the cold water. I think lukewarm with the blast at the end is best. But then, I'm slack and usually you can't see me through the steam. Here's some reading at Discovery: [url]http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/12/18/depression-cold-shower.html[/url] Interestingly, I've never seen any proper reference that the bath/shower has to be cold! It just seems to be a given. Perhaps because I imagine rivers in Punjab aren't warm, and that's where our Guru Sahibs bathed. What do people prefer - cold shower or cold bath? I read a story of an Australian woman in the 1940s (I think) who, when she was a child, met a travelling salesman who was a Sikh and she used to talk to him.
