How it Works

Cold plunge therapy involves immersing the body in cold water, typically ranging from 10°C to 15°C, for a short duration, usually between 1 to 10 minutes. The cold water causes vasoconstriction, or the narrowing of blood vessels, which reduces blood flow to the extremities and redirects it to vital organs. This process triggers a cascade of physiological responses, including the release of endorphins, increased circulation, and activation of the body's natural healing mechanisms. After the cold plunge, the body undergoes vasodilation, where blood vessels expand, leading to a rush of warm blood back to the extremities and a feeling of rejuvenation and vitality.
