A member asked:
Is showering in cold water good for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither good nor bad: Cold showers can be invigorating and should cause no harm for healthy individuals. Persons with raynaud's syndrome can't tolerate cold on extremities, thus they may want to avoid cold showers.
