And so, if there are Orthodox among you, then you probably know that on January 18 there will be a feast of Epiphany.On this day, it is customary for us to swim in the ice hole.It is believed that the water on this day is healing and no one will get sick.
But, I would like to give some recommendations for those who have never done this.
By virtue of my profession, I have seen people who are brought to us with frostbite, as they decided to swim on their own.
This should not be done in any case.In our country, several ambulances are on duty near each ice hole, there are heating tents, hundreds of people bathe there, and rescuers are always on duty there.And it's all for a reason.
I also want to draw your attention to the fact that in no case, under any pretext, you should not climb into the ice hole in a state of alcoholic intoxication.I'm not going to throw around terminology now and tell you what happens to the body when you load it with such stress.I'll just say that it's not worth doing.
If you still decided to take such a step and want to try it, then start small.First make sure that your house is warm, be sure to prepare hot tea and go outside and pour cold water from a bucket.See how the body reacts.If you have problems with pressure, health, chronic diseases, then in no case should you do this!!I know many people are interested in my blog, but today I decided to write this, because your health is very important!Although I wonder how many men here swam in the ice hole in winter?How did they do it?
Sincerely, your Inna
