water gushes /cold affusions


Explanation:

neutral  Gudrun Maydorn (X): I also found quite a few websites of wellness hotels which mention "affusion shower". This is also the term used by Bad Wörrishofen, the home town of Kneipp.

  -> Danke, Gudrun - aber "affusion shower" ist eine spezielle Duschvariante und eher das Gegenteil eines "Gusses". Für *Water showers* gibt es zudem eine Menge an Referenzen aus muttersprachlichen Ländern!
