VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – ALTERNATING HOT AND COLD WATER THERAPIES
Alternating hot and cold water applications are excellent for poor circulation and a fine aid to removing any congestion.
Apply hot water or herbal packs for about three minutes, then replace by a cold water pack, but leave this on for no longer than half a minute. Repeat the hot pack, followed by the cold, and continue in the same way for 20-30 minutes. The same principle applies to water-treading. Tread your feet in hot water for three minutes, then half a minute in cold water, and so forth. If you take alternating hot and cold baths, you must stay in the cold water only the same number of seconds as you were in the hot for minutes. This rule also applies to alternating hot and cold foot and arm baths. These applications should never make you feel chilled, but always warm and comfortable.
