This book explores the therapeutic use of cold applications in treating various medical conditions based on the research of the author, and builds on insights from ancient medical texts like the writings of Hippocrates. The author establishes from the outset that cold has sedative rather than stimulant effects on the human body and, thus, is a helpful treatment for conditions in which heat and inflammation are present.
