@duvaldena the cool plunge has never been suggested to me. I’m assuming that you’re filling the bathtub with cool-cold water and soaking in it. How long do you stay in the water?
Are there any negative effects? 🤷‍♂️
Do you warm shower afterwards to bring body temperature back up?
Thanks for any help

@mojo244 I got an outdoor plunge from the pod company. I use ice packs to get it to the temp I want and sit in it for about 5 min. I like to light up my fire pit to warm up by after. I also have a large near infrared bulb that emits heat and will sit under that after to get the full therapeutic benefit. I do recommend doing it in the evening since it lowers your immune system. Also I don’t think I would try to go less than 65 degrees. Some people do 40 but that would be too much of a shock for me.

It’s awesome. I don’t know why drs don’t recommend it. I have a friend with the same health stuff I have and she gets the same benefit.

Hope this helps!
