I take cold showers when the weather is warm. This is common knowledge about the hot water having more toxins in it. I use a water purifier, but if you use tap water for tea, get the water cold and then heat it up for this very reason. I had read that years ago. It takes a minute or 2 for your body to get used to the cold water.

Also on a site with advice for teen girls and cutting, it tells how cold showers are a good alternative to cutting. It has a link to a red belt karate master, Gogen Yamaguchi (The Cat) taking a cold shower under a water falls for personal growth and self mastery.
