How does plunging our warm blooded body into cold temperatures bring about better health and restored energy? This reminds me of when Dorothy and her friends were poisoned by poppies, fell asleep and woke up covered in snow… how do I know it’s really safe for my body and not just a temporary side effect of being “too cold?”
In recent years, cold therapy has gained serious popularity around the world because it is linked to numerous health benefits. It is now being utilized regularly by professional athletes, bodybuilders, and even celebrities swear by whole body cryotherapy - standing in a sealed container for a short amount of time, while extremely cold air is circulated around the body, a method that is effective but pricey.
Methods like the Wim Hof Method provide an affordable alternative because anyone can practice the method from the comfort of home, either by taking a cold shower or using a cold plunge to start reaping the benefits of cold therapy.
Benefits
Frequent exposure to cold is linked to many health benefits. Scientists have found evidence that exposure to cold speeds up metabolism, reduces inflammation, swelling, and sore muscles. Many athletes use ice baths for exactly this reason, to speed up recovery. Cold body therapy is also linked to improved quality of sleep, focus, and even improved immune response.
Cold showers and ice baths are the most recommended options. For this reason, Passion Ice Baths has taken the time to work directly with Wim at our facility in the Netherlands to develop options for BOTH of these applications. Many participants of these methods report health benefits ranging from higher energy levels to relief of symptoms caused by autoimmune diseases. It’s not quite like a bag of magic beans, but the results are more sustainable and you don’t have to worry about any giants chasing you down the beanstalk when you use them.
