I have been on cold showers for almost a year now. Can't imagine going back to warm showers, even in the dead of the winter.
The coldest shower I took was perhaps in Switzerland in December - I lasted for a couple of minutes or so in the shower. It was a fabulous experience nonetheless.
Why take a cold shower ? I was spending way too much time in hot showers, almost 20-30 minutes. Criminal waste of time and water.
Am not sure about the benefits, haven't noticed anything change in my body, but it's a great feeling to come out of an icy cold shower. Suddenly, the world feels warmer :)
- bitL 10y agoJust make sure you don't catch deep sinus infection from having your head exposed to cold too much/often, like it happened to me (1+ year of cold showers). You don't want to be knocked out for a month.
- deepGem 10y agoI did catch an infection and was knocked out for a couple of weeks. Haven't had any issues after that. I'll watch out though. Thank you.
- keypress 10y agoI get very lazy in a hot shower, and just want to lap up as much heat as I can get. I'll happily stand there and keep nudging up the hot tap. My skin probably suffers a lot for it. Whereas a cold shower, I'm probably in and out in less than 5 mins.
