Ever heard these myths about cold plunges?
Let’s set the record straight.
Myth 1: You’ll catch a cold.
Exposure to cold water doesn’t make you sick. In fact, research shows it can strengthen your immune response. Cold plunges stimulate the production of white blood cells and improve resilience to environmental stress.
Myth 2: Plunging is painful.
That initial sting? It’s temporary. As your body adapts, circulation increases and your nervous system shifts into balance, which results in reduced inflammation, improved recovery, and a calm, focused state of mind.
Myth 3: A cold shower can work just as well.
While refreshing, cold showers don’t match the benefits of full immersion. A controlled plunge activates hydrostatic pressure and temperature contrast at a deeper level, supporting muscle recovery, circulation, and mental clarity.
