Well, in the mountains of Tibet, it's cold and windy and the common people's life is full of very hard physical work. Traditionally, infant and child mortality has been very high. So they would dip the baby, naked, in mountain spring water up to its neck for a minute or two. Then they would dry it off and keep it warm. If it survived, it was strong enough for life in the mountains of Tibet.
