Should we take cold water showers?

Cold showers are very beneficial for the body as they tone the nervous system and make us more active. Cold water also increases immunity and the life span. However, taking cold showers in harsh winters can be violent to the body and we must remember the law of ahimsa first. Therefore, take bath with Luke-warm water and towards the end of the bath, you can attempt to make the water colder. This way, the body will not get a shock.
