How does cold exposure/ ice baths works

This deliberate cold exposure helps reduce inflammation in conditions such as an autoimmune diseases, joint arthritis, & muscle soreness. Cold therapy such as ice baths combined with breathing techniques completes the session with learning & managing stress better, helping us build mental toughness in adult life.
Heat vs Cold therapy
Heat and ice bath therapy are two types of therapy that are often used to treat different types of conditions or injuries. While both therapies involve the use of temperature, they have different effects on the body and are used for different purposes.
Heat therapy involves the application of heat to the body, typically through the use of warm compresses, heating pads, or warm baths. Heat therapy is often used to relieve muscle stiffness and pain, promote relaxation, and improve circulation. Heat therapy can help to increase blood flow to the affected area, which can help to promote healing and reduce inflammation. Heat therapy can also help to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation, which can be helpful for people with conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.
On the other hand, cold exposure/ice bath therapy involves the application of cold to the body, typically through the use of cold compresses, ice packs, or immersion in cold water or ice. Ice bath therapy is often used to reduce inflammation and swelling, relieve pain, and improve muscle recovery. Ice bath therapy can help to constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the affected area, which can help to reduce swelling and inflammation. Ice bath therapy can also help to numb the affected area and reduce pain, which can be helpful for people with injuries or conditions such as muscle strains or sprains.
In general, heat therapy is used to promote relaxation and improve circulation, while ice bath therapy is used to reduce inflammation and swelling. The choice of therapy will depend on the specific condition or injury being treated, as well as individual factors such as personal preference and tolerance to temperature. It is important to approach both types of therapy with caution and under the guidance of a qualified professional to avoid the risk of injury or other negative effects.
Are cold showers the same?
Cold showers are seen as an amazing way to slowly get yourself to do cold water immersion. They are great but unfortunately in Singapore or sunny countries, the water is warm year round, and this can be quite a shock for most people. As it is, ice bath or cold water immersion for most part starts from 15 to 15 degrees. Cold plunges into ice water(taking ice baths) as compared to cold shower can be done for just a few minutes and this is due to the fact that going beyond that is not necessary from all the available research .
