Ice Bath Safety Guidelines

Consult a Doctor First

If you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, or other medical concerns, check with a healthcare professional before using ice baths.

Limit Time

Stay in for 2-10 minutes max. Exceeding this can increase risks like hypothermia.

Know the Signs

If you feel dizzy, numb, lightheaded, or shivering uncontrollably, exit immediately and warm up gradually.

Never Go Alone

Always have someone nearby in case of an emergency.

Breathe & Stay Calm

Controlled breathing helps manage the cold shock response.

Warm Up Properly

For the best experience, allow your body to warm up naturally after an ice bath with movement and layers before gradually enjoying the heat of a sauna.

Avoid Alcohol & Drugs

These impair your body’s ability to regulate temperature.

Not for Everyone

Pregnant individuals, young children, and people with certain medical conditions should avoid ice baths.
