An ice bath, also known as cold water immersion therapy, involves submerging the body in cold water (typically 10–15°C or 50–59°F) for a short period of time. It is commonly used by athletes and wellness enthusiasts to aid recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve mental resilience.
Fill the tub with normal water and switch on the chiller.
Water temperature should be 10–15°C (50–59°F).
Submerge your body up to your shoulders.
Stay in the water for 2–10 minutes (beginners should start with shorter durations).
Breathe slowly and focus on staying relaxed.
Warm up gradually afterward using a towel or light movement.
