The history of cold plunging dates back centuries, with roots in various cultures, from the Nordic tradition of winter bathing to the ancient Greeks and Romans' use of cold baths for healing. The craze around cold plunging is fueled by the rush of endorphins and adrenaline it provides, leaving us feeling invigorated and refreshed. Cold plunging is well known for its potential to improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and boost mental resilience. It's a holistic practice that aligns with the pursuit of physical and mental strength, making it a favorite among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Other benefits include but are not limited to

• A history of heart disease; Raynaud’s phenomenon, which is caused by over-sensitive blood vessels in the body’s extremities; peripheral vascular disease, as can be seen in diabetes; impaired sensation; cold allergy or hypersensitivity; severe cold-induced urticaria, a skin reaction to cold that appears within minutes after cold exposure; and other more complex medical conditions including cryoglobulinemia and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.

The duration of a cold plunge session depends on your experience level and personal comfort. Beginners typically start with 30 seconds to 1 minute and gradually increase the time as they become accustomed to the cold. Some experienced enthusiasts may stay in for several minutes. The key is to listen to your body and exit the cold plunge when your body tells you to. It's essential to prioritize safety and gradually extend your cold exposure over time.

We recommend having goals of 11-15minutes of cold exposure per week - recent clinical trials by Sorberg suggest that the minimum effective dose  of cold exposure is 11 minutes per week, spread over 3-4 sessions. Beginners can start with less, but just like any "practice" consistency matters. 

While cold treatments are generally considered safe, they are not recommended for everyone. People with medical conditions such as high blood pressure, pregnancy, heart disease, Raynaud's disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neuropathy or poor circulation should consult their doctor before attempting a cold plunge/soak, as it can cause a shock to the system or elevate conditions that can have potential negative side effects. It is important to know whether it is safe for you to do cold plunges/soaks. It's also crucial to be aware of the risks associated with prolonged exposure to extremely cold water. To mitigate these risks, always start with shorter sessions, warm up adequately before entering the cold water, and exit if you feel uncomfortable.
