After Cold Water Treatments patients should
quickly dry themselves and undertake moderate exercises such as
Yogasanas, Suryanamaskars, Pranayama etc. If the patients
are not in a position to do asanas or exercise, they are advised
to take a brisk walk for 20 minutes. If they are too weak
to do even that, they should cover themselves with a blanket until
the reaction of the treatment is completed (about 30 minutes).

Cold Water Treatments should be discontinued
immediately if the patient feels chill. Even a second more
they cause nausea, giddiness etc. Sometimes, this may also
cause a condition known as Hydrotherapic fever.

Before taking any Hot Water treatments,
the patient should drink one or two glasses of cold water.
The head should always be protected with a wet towel to keep the
brain cool; otherwise the patient may feel giddy, nauseous
and may even faint. Terminate the treatment as soon as the
patient shows the slightest indication of giddiness or weakness/exhaustion.

cold towel packs are advised. Other treatments should be taken
only under a doctor's advice.

Sometimes during the treatment a healing crisis
may occur.. It generally consists of aggravation of the
disease, fever, skin trouble, diarrhea, dysentery etc. In
such cases, one need not be alarmed since it is nothing but vigorous
action of the body to eliminate the disease-producing morbid matter.
During the period of crisis, treatment and diet should be strictly
adhered to and complete bed-rest taken. The body will be relieved
of all unwanted morbid matter and gets revitalized and rejuvenated
soon.
