An interesting piece of article in MINT i came across today...
Yoga experts strongly believe in the power of contrasting sensations. If you walk out of an overly air-conditioned room, you will feel the heat more intensely. Similarly a cold water bath can actually end up making you fell warmer rather than cooler afterwards.
Part of the requirement for yoga therapists in training is bathing with cold water in winter and warm water in summer. But you don't have to go to extremes to reap the benefits of this very workable trick. Just bathe with slightly tepid water instead of hot water in summer.
While you may feel a little bit of discomfort initially, eventually you feel a lot cooler than before.
