"These applications are alternative, you can choose whichever one suits you better,and the temperature can be adjusted to each individual."

The application of cold water produces a greater stimulation of the skin and a more intense reaction of the body. There are two well-defined stages.

1- The first stage is a direct, local response to the application. When exposed to cold the blood vessels in the skin contract, reducing the flow of blood through the skin.


2- The second stage is a general, reflex-type action, which consists of reactive vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels), which increases the flow of blood through the skin, giving it a reddish appearance.

In hydrotherapy treatments it is important to always favor this second, reactive phase by:

> Covering up in bed as soon as the application has finished,
> Taking physical exercise, or
> Applying friction to the skin.

"Never apply cold water to a cold body"

Rest, emotional change and exercise may alter blood pressure temporarily.

Some people who tend to suffer from either high or low pressure constantly, and in this case the body may be undergoing a pathological process that needs to be diagnosed and perhaps treated by a doctor.

The heart pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries, pressurizing the artery walls and exerting a tension that is known as blood pressure.

Weather Can Heal:

The climate influences our health more han you would initially think, as some types of climate directly affect- positively or negatively- certain diseases.

Thus it is a good idea to know the different types of climate so that we can make the most of their healing effect on specific diseases and disorders and, above all, benefit from their preventive effects.

- Humidity has a negative effect on certain disorders such as rheumatism,
while it can be very beneficial for others, for example, allergic asthma..

- All mothers know that when they take their child out in the buggy for some fresh air, after the initial excitement, he tends to nod off quickly. This is because the first effect of the wind is stimulating, even exciting, but then later becomes tiring.

- The forest climate is a magnificent sedative for the nervous system, and also improves respiratory functions.

- The maritime climate promotes an increase in weight and height of children and young people who are still growing, above all when accompanied by appropriate physical exercise, especially swimming.

Walking, swimming, cycling, rowing, cross country skiing are the exercises that provide the greatest benefit to the heart & circulation, both in terms of prevention and treatment. This requires a mild, constant effort.

While walking, the blood flow returning to the heart increases as the veins of lower limbs contract, and this leads to a series of benefits:

- it helps stabilize the heartbeat, preveting arrhythmia.
- it protects against arteriosclerosis.
- It helps to prevent heart attacks and angina. Indeed, under medical supervision, it is an essential exercise for people recovering from these disorders.
- it stabilizes blood pressure, and is therefore benefecial for people with low and high blood pressure.
- it reduces harmful (LDL) levels, while increases good cholesterol (HDL) levels.
- it prevents blood from accumulating in lower imbs, especially in the case of varicose veins. It also prevents chilblains, helps to combat phlebitis and edemas, and, under medical supervision, forms part of treatment indicated for intermittent claudication (limping).
- since it improves the blood flow to the lungs, it can help protect against respiratory infections.
