This procedure is based on the difference in body and water temperature. When douched, there is an effect on the heat and cold receptors. The capillaries narrowed reflexively. Inflow of blood decreases, skin pale, its temperature decreases, thereby the body saves heat.
Simultaneously, the total heat production is automatically increased, the blood supply of internal organs and deep tissues increases. The heat balance is restored. The capillaries expand again and fill with blood. The skin turns red, warms, and a pleasant warmth arises. Due to the excitation of receptors, vegetative and nervous systems are activated, blood circulation is accelerated.
Thanks to the influx of blood to the tissues, the work of the cardiovascular system improves. Thus, douche is a kind of gymnastics for blood vessels. It increases the capacity for work, increases the tone of the neuromuscular system.
How to prepare
You can create dousing with cold water for health at home . For example, in urban conditions it is much more convenient to bathe at home in a bath than on the street. Of course, if you have the opportunity to do this in a relatively environmentally friendly place (in a park, for example, or on a lawn), it's better there. Because the meaning of pouring on the street is that you stand barefoot on the ground or on the snow: each person has a charge of 35 microvolts, through a dry sole, the current, as is known, practically does not pass, but if it is wet, the electrical conductivity increases. When a person, standing barefoot on the ground, pours out, there is a complete discharge. All electricity goes to the ground, as with a lightning rod. Snow is the worst conductor, and therefore, if you want to discharge, it's better to stand on the ground.
But on contact with snow, other processes are connected. There is a reflex action on the feet. On the soles, there are a lot of points that affect the internal organs. When you stand on the snow, these points are annoyed, and thus you include the whole body in the work. So both the snow and the earth have their pluses.
Cold treatment
Treatment with ice water in ancient times led to the development of a very effective and popular technique - cryotherapy (cold treatment). Our ancestors took a bath with ice water for rejuvenation. Subsequently it was proved that the cold really has a very beneficial effect on the entire body. It activates the immune system; mobilizes the endocrine system; improves the neurohumoral regulation of the body as a whole.
Cryotherapy is especially effective in joint diseases when they have an inflammatory process; PMS and various female diseases; pain syndrome; muscle spasms; edema of tissues; allergies; acne and other skin diseases.
To start dousing in the street it is necessary in the warm season, when it is dry and there is not a lot of moisture. In winter it is much harder to adapt to the cold due to double loading. First you react to the temperature of the air, and then cold water intensifies the impact.
Contraindications
No matter how attractive the healing method, you need to take into account the characteristics of your own organism. You need to start with minimal loads. And if you have severe or chronic diseases, then before you start any system of recovery, you need to get a consultation from a doctor. It is better if it is a balneotherapist or balneotherapist.
Thus, another stimulus is superimposed on one stimulus. If you suddenly catch cold and get sick, negative feelings will be fixed in the subconscious, and you generally will lose the desire to engage in similar procedures. Pouring in the street in winter can only afford a seasoned person.
Doing pouring on the street is not recommended for those who have diseases of the genitourinary and cardiovascular systems. An individual program is required for them. It is necessary to start with the organization of proper nutrition, herbal treatment and minimal cold loads. It is possible that in a year of painstaking work on yourself this will help achieve excellent results.
Before you begin to be treated with icy water, consult a specialist doctor which health program you choose, given the strengths and weaknesses of your health.
Bathing in the ice-hole
Annually Orthodox people celebrate the Feast of Baptism, which is accompanied by swimming in the ice hole.
How to prepare
Remember that bathing in the ice hole requires serious and long preparation, because if the difference in skin and water temperatures exceeds 5-7C, the body's resources may not be enough, and it will "fail". If your temperature is 30,6C, then, after drenching with thirty-degree water, you will still start the thermoregulation mechanism and get a healing, as well as tempering effect. Therefore, start better with a difference of not more than 3C, and increase it every two weeks to bring up to 7C. The extreme limit for any person can be a point at 28C. If you lower the temperature lower - keep in mind that this is not every organism can withstand.
If you still decided to swim in the hole, observe the precautions: do not drink alcohol before dipping into ice water; Beginners can be in the ice hole for 3-5 seconds.
Contraindications
People who are engaged in walrus, still extreme, and all to strive for their results is not worth it. Bathing in the ice-hole is a hard procedure for the body, and it is actually contraindicated to people who are not hard-working and untrained, because the ice water can be narrowed, which in turn leads to many troubles, including cardiovascular disorders. Plunging into the hole, the body is not only a temperature, but also a mechanical effect - with a sharp immersion, water is very hard on the human body. Absolute contraindications are nonspecific diseases, such as tuberculosis, or severe inflammatory diseases.
