The Cold Shoulder Shower.

One crazy remedy we tried, that stuck, was making the last minute, of your hot shower, cold.

Fully cold.

Refreshing in summer. Breath stealing in winter!

But we found (& still find) it does invigorate. It wakes you up very quickly (and it makes you braver!).

We heard something about leg therapy - walking in hot, then cold, then hot, then cold baths would increase blood flow to the surface of the skin and then restrict it & this would kick start a healing process. We also read about some crazy Russians who swam every morning in the frozen lakes & how healthy (& old) they were.

The Bondi Icebergs would agree I'm sure.
