THE SCIENCE BEHIND COLD WATER THERAPY
Being immersed in cold water stimulates leukocytes, the white blood cells that help fight off sicknesses. It also causes the lymphatic system to contract, forcing fluid through the lymph nodes. This process aids in detoxing the body and strengthening your immune system. The boost in norepinephrine you'll get from consistent ice baths has been shown to be up to 5x. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce inflammation and help with chronic pain.
Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol.
Cold plunge benefits extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body too. Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years, to help the active recovery of your muscles.
While cold therapy can be effective for some conditions, there are also some situations where it’s not recommended. For example, you should not use cold therapy on open wounds or skin that is already cold to the touch, as this can further damage the tissue. In addition, people with diabetes or circulatory problems, high blood pressure or heart disease should use cold therapy with caution, as they may be more susceptible to cold-related injuries. Cold therapy can also aggravate some medical conditions, such as migraines and cold sores. So, if you’re feeling unwell or have any of the above conditions, play it safe and wait until you’re better to try cold therapy. Other contraindications: Cardiovascular disease or hypertension, Raynaud’s syndrome, pregnant women, low body temperature at baseline, individuals who have a pacemaker (unless there’s medical clearance and/or direct medical supervision)
