1. My Advice to my Patients & my well wishers is That *taking cold shower* or *exposure to A/C environment* on a hot day might be a bad idea . By doing so you might get relieved from heat but in reality, *it may not be helping the body to cool down.*
2. We all know our body ‘s temperature is around 37° centigrade. Due to heat when the core gets too hot, then the body ‘s regulating centre of the brain (Hypothalamus), our thermostat gets input from temperature sensors in skin & internal organs to activate our cooling system.
3. If the core temperature is around 39-40° centigrade for too long ,it starts damaging our organs. Thus our body takes two protective steps :-
(a) Firstly, the body starts radiating heat into the surrounding environment via our skin, hence 60 % of our body heat is lost.
(b) Secondly, by way of sweating 22 % of the heat is lost.
4. To support these, our *blood vessels dilate.*
5. This widening allows more blood to come closer to skin so that the heat inside the body is released.
6. Now if you go for a cold shower or sit in front of an A/C , you might feel nice but it is not reducing the core temperature. In fact, these two actions by us, reduce the blood flow into the upper skin. This will, therefore, effectively retain the heat in and around your organs . *This may lead to whole body aches or pains in the lower back, shoulders, neck , legs etc.*
7. **We strongly recommend less use of A/C & taking Luke warm water bath*
