Ice Bath

An Ice Bath (or cold plunge) is a form of cold-water immersion (CWI) therapy where an individual submerges their body, typically up to the neck, in cold water usually ranging from 50°F to 59°F (10°C to 15°C). Originally used primarily by elite athletes for physical recovery, it has become a mainstream wellness practice for optimizing physical and mental health. Modern ice baths often utilize temperature-controlled chillers to maintain a consistent cold environment without the need for manual ice.
