One's circulation can be given a tremendous boost by taking a shower
and alternating the flow of water from hot to cold, back and forth 7 times
in a row. The result is invigorating and extremely healthful. This is
how to do it:
1. Make sure that the water used does not contain chlorine,
fluoride or other highly toxic chemicals commonly used in public water
supplies. It is counter-productive to greatly increase one's circulation
and at the same time drive in a large dose of toxic chemicals. If you
cannot readily filter these chemicals out of the water before it comes
into your home, install a shower head filter that is truly effective in
this regard. We know of one sold at Home Depot for about $30 that uses
replacable carbon cartidges.
2. Get completely wet with a temperature of water that
is comfortable.
3. Slowly increase the temperature up to the point that
you can barely stand it. Quickly expose all the parts of the body to this
hotter water including the top of your head and your face.
4. Now turn the water temperature down to the coldest
tolerable setting. No matter how cold the water is, at its coldest, it
cannot harm you in any way. The only thing stopping you from going to
the coldest setting is your ability to confront the experience. Make sure
all parts of your body get this cold water exposure.
5. Next turn the water to hot again but make it a little
hotter than you had it before. Again, get each part of your body good
and hot before reversing the temperature to the coldest setting.
6. Repeat the procedure seven times - seven times hot,
seven times cold. Always begin with hot and end off with cold. Make the
temperatures as hot and as cold as you can tolerate.
Why Hot and Cold Therapy Works
When the body is subjected to cold external temperatures, the flow of
circulation is directed inward toward the internal organs. As the outside
temperature gets hot, the flow of circulation goes outward toward the
skin. Alternating hot and cold makes the circulation move in and out like
an accordion. This has the effect of unblocking stuck flows, increasing
the rate of detoxification and moving nutrients more readily to various
parts of the body.
Folks can use hot and cold showers to "get into gear" in the
morning or, ironically, use it at the end of the night to get an unusually
restful night's sleep.
Hot and cold showers can be taken 2 or 3 times a day as a therapeutic measure to enhance the effectiveness of a natural health repair program. These showers can be a godsend in that they are inexpensive, convenient, never cause any harm and always make you feel better. Give this routine a try and see!
