Have a cool bath or gentle shower. Keep the water just below lukewarm (cool, but not tooth-chattering) and relax for 10 to 20 minutes. If showering, use a gentle stream of water, not a full blast, to avoid irritating your skin. Air dry or pat gently with a towel to avoid abrading the skin.
1 Transpirational pullï Transpirational pull is the pulling force developed inside xylem tissue causing the water to move up the xylem vessel by the loss of water vapour in the leaves.
Due to this there is a continuous movement of water molecules in the opposite direction of the negative tension, which is known as the transpiration pull. This process of cohesion and transpiration pull supports the movement of water channel towards the aerial part of the plant by opposing the gravitational force.
