The TL;DR version: It has to do with our bodies core temperatures and how our systems react to maintain it. When you take a cold shower you lower your core temp which makes your body try to heat itself back up but when you take a warm shower and raise your core temp your body works to cool it down thus keeping you cooler longer.
The opposite is how it works for winter.
ETA: the same concept goes for the cup of hot tea PP mentioned.
Gross but one old wives tale was when you have a stye pee in a cup and get a eye dropper with pee and it will burn off the stye. My Grandmother swears up and down it works
Corona ointment that is meant for horses on a diaper rash. DS is allergic to zinc. It burnt his skin so bad it was bleeding. My mom brought over a tube of that stuff and it was almost healed within hours.
My mil told me to use a urine diaper (cloth) to wipe ds eyes to clear up his gunk and it worked. I probably won't tell him I washed his face with pee lol

I heard that you have to drink cold drinks when it's cold and hot chocolate and other hot beverages when it's hot.
