If you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, or other medical concerns, check with a healthcare professional before using ice baths.
Stay in for 2-10 minutes max. Exceeding this can increase risks like hypothermia.
If you feel dizzy, numb, lightheaded, or shivering uncontrollably, exit immediately and warm up gradually.
Always have someone nearby in case of an emergency.
Controlled breathing helps manage the cold shock response.
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.
These impair your body’s ability to regulate temperature.
Pregnant individuals, young children, and people with certain medical conditions should avoid ice baths.
