If you suffer from colds and flu frequently, you may have a weak immune system. You have to make some measures to strengthen your immunity and eventually, to prevent further complications.
Dr. Sergei Bubnovkiy, a well-known Russian doctor, claimed that the immune system will be strengthened if you douse your legs in ice cold water for at least 10 to 15 minutes on a daily basis.
Apparently, this process has the ability to avoid both of colds and flu.
You have to fill a basin with cold water, and add as much as ice as you have at home, the more you add ice, the better. Then, put your feet in the water and keep them underwater for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Do this process every night before you go to sleep.
If your immune system is weak, then you can repeat this process every 4 hours.
The icy water provides the following health benefits:
1. Healthier Skin
The cold water therapy energized the skin, avoids clotting and tightens the pores and cuticles.
2. Ease Sore Muscles
Dousing the feet in icy water can actually soothe the pain in the muscles.
3. Hair Shine
The cold water can actually close the follicles and make the hair both shiny and smooth.
4. Fights Depression
The cold receptors have the ability to affect the skin, so the icy water will eventually treat depression symptoms, as well as to improve the mood.
