Ice bath therapy does wonders for the mind and body - with benefits of reduced inflammation, fast-track muscle recovery, improved blood flow & circulation and of course a clear and focused mind!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It triggers an adaptation response to the immune system. This is called called ‘controlled hypoxia’ which works by activating the stress hormone cortisol. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This produces a natural ‘fight-or-flight’ response, which conditions the brain to cope better with stressors of everyday life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ After the initial cold shock, our bodies begin to calm down and become more resilient to the change in environment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Just 3-5 minutes of cold immersion a few times a week can improve mitochondrial health (the main suppliers of energy). ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​Add an ice bath on to your sauna or brave it on its own and experience the all the benefits that follow.​​​​​​​!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #coldtherapy #coldimmersion #longevity​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #icebath #wimhofmethod #wimhof #coldtherapy #coldexposure #recovery #breathwork #coldwatertherapy #meditation #coldwater #wellness #icebaths #whm #icebathrecovery #sauna #infraredsauna #traditionalsauna​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​
