Cold plunge

Cold water immersion at temperatures between 34℉ to 45℉ stimulates white blood cells, or leukocytes, in the body. Leukocytes are responsible for fighting off illnesses and diseases. Think of them as the body’s army traveling through the bloodstream. Traditionally used by athletes to improve muscle recovery, cold plunging can also relieve joint pain and inflammation along with other health and wellness benefits and is an emerging new service in the world of wellness!

Cold Plunge suggested schedule: It is typically recommended to start with a shorter duration, such as one to two minutes, and gradually increase the time as the body becomes acclimated to the cold. Some people may eventually work their way up to longer durations of three to five minutes.
