Refreshment
In order to cool your body, you have the choice between a shower, a Kneipp hose, a dousing showerhead, a plunge pool, an ice room, and a foot bath. Alternating hot and cold showers or baths stimulates the blood vessels of the skin. The Reverend S. Kneipp’s golden rule goes: “As much warmth as necessary, as much cold as possible.”
Important: the cooling process should begin in the parts of the body that are the farthest away from the heart, i.e. first in the feet, then in the legs, hands, arms, and finally in the chest. Always start with warm water. Repeat the hot-warm alternation twice, so that you finish off with cold water. Please always have a shower before using the plunge pool.
