Bathing in the state of haidh

Q: The women in our area have this notion that during haidh nifaas they are not allowed to do ghusl with water, moreover they are not allowed to bath during these periods. They say that if they do so they will become ill. Also they do not drink cold water. I understand that bathing and doing ghusl will not not get rid of impurity during these periods but is it true that they are not allowed to use water to clean private parts and/or bath. Please expand on  this topic maybe highlighting the shariah and hikmat perspectives on this issue. Jazakallah

Horoscope

Q: Actually I was on Facebook when I saw some prediction games close to horoscope. I knew it is big sin to play and read the results but I
could not stop myself. I am feeling very regretful as I know that for 40 days, my Salaah will not be accepted. If I sincerely repent to never do that again, will my salaah be accepted?
