February cold showers sounds absolutely brutal. I tried starting in October thinking the mild autumn temperatures would ease me in and I still found it nearly impossible the first week. Does the article address what Ayurveda recommends for Vata-dominant types in winter specifically? I’ve heard cold water can really aggravate Vata and I want to know if I should be adjusting the temperature seasonally.

The distinction this article draws between head and body temperature feels important — wetting the head with cold water in winter does seem to hit differently than cold on the body. Have you found guidance here on what to do with the head specifically?

The seasonal chart makes sense; I’ll shift to cooler rinses in summer and stick with warm soaks in winter.
