WHY
It will help boost your immune system, strengthen and normalize your circulatory, musculoskeletal, nervous and endocrine systems.

HOW
If doing arm bath take to separate tubs (double sinks work very well/rubermaid bins) fill one with hot water (approx 39C) and one with cold (approx 15C). Put arms/feet into hot first for 3 mins, then immediately into cold for 30secs. Repeat this 3x’s always ending with cold.
If doing in shower follow same directions just switch from hot to cold water.

WHEN
Contrast showers are great everyday and are very invigorating in the morning and will help you sleep better if done at night. Contrast showers are also great after exercise.

PRECAUTIONS
Stop or decrease intensity if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous or chilled. Your tolerance for contrasting might be affected by acute illness, dehydration, menstruation, or poor nutrition. Do not contrast if you have any cardiovascular disease until you have talked to your doctor.
