I recently started to switch to cold showers because of the health benefits. But are there any negative effects in the winter besides the small chance of catching a cold?

My concern would be that the body cannot be cleansed of dirt and germs properly without warm water. However, I have not heard that taking a cold shower increases your chance of catching a cold.

no cause.

when you bath with cold water, you get frozen/become icicle , breakup into pieces and then die

Did you mean all of that? I'm sure it would be fine to bath with cold water as long as the room temperature is not freezing.

cold ishnaan is just 'hat karna' - what spiritual profit is there in it. Warm water is fine,both too hot and too cold are bad

Too cold/ too hot is bad for your nerves...

I know there are benefits to doing both warm and cold in one session, one opens and one closes the pores, but you would probably need to look into that more to know the full benefits, I wouldn't suggest going from warm to cold though, the shock wouldn't be soon forgotten :biggrin2:

I have heard that it can help blood circulation and raise white blood cell count, so one would assume it can help you from getting a cold that way, but I would look into effects of cold water in winter, or something along those lines for more info
