[nukkad] Cold Bath - Hot Bath - Pro's and Cons

Is it more beneficial to take a Hot bath or a Cold bath or is it irrelevant ?

My grandfather (A Doctor, Homeopath, to be precise) always used to recommend 
cold water baths.

However, i always learnt in my textbooks in school that hot water is the way to 
go. Also, 1-2 doctors i've conversed with seem to recommend this as well.

Does the temperature of the water have any health related benefits / demerits  
other than the obvious ones of making you Sleepy / Perking you up...

Cheers,
Husain.

==========================

There are no rules here. The only rule is--Do what you please. But, among the 
pros, here are the ones;

PROS FOR COLD BATH

1. Easily available
2. No botheration for anybody--family members, servants, attendants, host etc.
3. saves fuel
4. Invigorating
5. saves water [If it is real cold, one might feel like splashing less water]
