COLD WATER IMMERSION

Cold water immersion is a kind of hydrotherapy that provides many health benefits. It differs from thermal soaking in that the overall after effect is one of natural warmth. The length of time to immerse in cold water depends on instinct, intelligence and inspriation.

Equip yourself with: A Robe, Footwear, Towel, Quality water to drink, Natural Bristle Dry Brush

Begin with dry brushing from your feet upwards to exfoliate the skin and flush blood to skin surface. Cleanse your mouth. Hydrate.

Quickly submerge in cold water. One may experience hyper-ventilation. You can increase your endurance by swimming or pacing in place. Remain in water up to 3 minutes or until you have exercised. DO NOT CHILL.

Get out of the water and wrap in a robe to warm. REST. One may return to the water several times. Always finish by warming RESTING.
