Treatment and prophylactic water procedures

Most people believe that unlike medicines, water does not give side effects and is not capable of harm. However, treatment should be started with caution. Here you should take into account the general condition of the body and age, as well as the predisposition to different for

pain. If, for example, a sick person often starts to be treated with water, diving into an ice hole, this is unlikely to lead to positive results.

To your body you need to listen and try to correctly assess its possibilities: if some procedure, for example douche, instead of relief brings some troubles, it is better to start with something easier, and from doucheing for a while to refuse, since you have to them stillnot ready. Do not perform hardening procedures during colds. And at the very beginning of treatment, do not wipe off using water below 14 ° C, especially if you are not young or you already have some kind of chronic systemic disease.

Cold water procedures should be performed only when your body is slightly "cold" after walking, and not when it is still hot. However, you do not need to allow complete cooling of the skin, otherwise cold water will not include the mechanisms of thermoregulation and there will be a supercooling of the body, which is fraught with a cold. In the event that the body is overheated, a cold shower will result in vasospasm.

With regard to the time of water procedures, for example, before going to bed, cold water is best not to use, as it invigorates. Do not start treatment after hypothermia. If you came from the street freezing, you first need to get warm well and only after that do the water procedures. If you feel tired, you must first rest and then proceed to hydrotherapy.

After taking a cold shower or a bath, you need the whole body to dry out and the temperature rise to normal. Therefore, doctors recommend after the procedure to do gymnastics or walking. In this case, physical activity should last at least half an hour.
