אָמַר, שֶׁמִּקְוֶה אֵינָהּ מַזֶּקֶת כְּלָל, וְהַדָּאקְטֶיר שֶׁיֹּאמַר לוֹ, שֶׁמִּקְוֶה מַזֶּקֶת, אֵינוֹ דָּאקְטֶיר כְּלָל.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Rebbe Nachman said: Mikvah is not the least bit harmful. Any doctor who says it is, is no doctor at all.

אַדְּרַבָּה, טְבִילַת מִקְוֶה טוֹבָה מְאֹד לִבְרִיאוּת הַגּוּף, כִּי יֵשׁ נְקָבִים קְטַנִּים הַרְבֵּה בְּגוּפוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם וְהֵם נִקְבֵי הַזֵּעָה, שֶׁדֶּרֶךְ שָׁם יוֹצֵא הַזֵּעָה מִן הָאָדָם, וְהֵם צְרִיכִין לִפָּתַח, כִּי אִם נִסְתָּמִין נִקְבֵי הַזֵּעָה יוּכַל לֵחָלֵשׁ וְלִפֹּל לְחֻלְשָׁה, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם,

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
On the contrary, immersing in a mikvah is very beneficial for the body’s health. This is because there are many small pores in the human body, sweat pores, through which the perspiration leaves a person. They need to be open, because if the sweat pores are blocked a person can become weak and fall ill, God forbid.

וְעַל־יְדֵי טְבִילָה בְּמַיִם נִפְתָּחִין נִקְבֵי הַזֵּעָה, וְזֶה טוֹב מְאֹד לִבְרִיאוּת הַגּוּף. רַק שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיוּ הַמַּיִם קָרִים בְּיוֹתֵר, כִּי אָז מַיָּא מְטָרְשִׁי לְהַנְּקָבִים הַנַּ"ל, אֲבָל כְּשֶׁאֵין הַמַּיִם קָרִים מְאֹד, אֲזַי הַטְּבִילָה בָּהֶם טוֹבָה מְאֹד:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Immersing in water opens the sweat pores, which is very beneficial for the body’s health. This is so long as the water is not excessively cold, because in that case water closes up the aforementioned pores. But when not very cold, immersing in the water is very beneficial.

גַּם כְּבָר מְבֹאָר, שֶׁאֵין הָעֲבוֹדוֹת וְסִגּוּפִים, שֶׁקּוֹרִין "הָארִיוַואנִי", מַזִּיקִים כְּלָל, וּמִי שֶׁמַּזִּיק לוֹ הָעֲבוֹדָה וְהַסִּגּוּפִים, זֶהוּ רַק מֵחֲמַת גַּדְלוּת:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
It has also already been explained that devotions and self-mortification (called *horivani*) cause no harm. Whomever the devotions or the self-mortification does harm, it is only because of pride.
