Pouring

Pouring is another type of hardening. It is applied everywhere, but is more suitable for territories without water areas. Compared with air hardening, much more effective. After trying all kinds of hardening, I say with confidence that douche is worth attention! Personally, I stopped for a swim in the ice hole.

Pouring can be divided into two types:

At home (shower, or from the basin)
On the street (with a bucket or any convenient container - a glass is not considered).

This kind of hardening already intensively affects the nervous system, blood circulation, respiratory function and brain activity! Millions of impulses rush into the brain, leading to a general tone and more active brain activity. Then follows the acceleration of the blood flow, the improvement of circulation. Raising the mood and cheerfulness!
I want to note that when douche in the first stages there is a little stress. Hardening is what is needed to prepare the body for abrupt changes in the environment. After certain training, stress disappears, and the body works by algorithm. The organism is ready for anything!).

From personal experience - pouring a home is much tougher than on the street because of the temperature difference. At home it's warm, the body is warm, the water is icy, it's quite different with the street. Going naked to the street, your body begins to slowly cool down, the body slowly, takes protective measures. Home ice water on the street seems not so icy.

Let's move on to Practice!

As with home and street douche, you need to start Gradually:

we choose for ourselves a convenient time - morning, afternoon or evening
get up in the bath, we collect a basin with cold water
we pour our feet to the knees. The time interval of "such pouches" is a week or two. Then we rise higher, after another two weeks, even higher.
gradually increase the procedure, we pour out every day, you can twice a day
an advanced level is considered - stand under the ice shower 10 sec. (also gradually increasing) d.

Similarly with the street:

we choose for ourselves a convenient time - morning, afternoon or evening
having typed 2 buckets (the most convenient capacity) we leave on street. And do not go far to the neighboring house, so that neighbors can not see. The location should be close to quickly return home, "At first"
also begin pouring feet to the knees, taking turns pouring buckets, quietly returning home
gradually increase the procedure, we pour out every day, you can twice a day
advanced level - after coming to the place of douche, we take off slaps, stand barefoot on the snow. Pouring water on yourself, breathing in the air for 3 minutes and coming back. As we train, we also increase the residence time. Each time +10 sec.
