What is Cold Water Therapy?
Cold Immersion or exposure is referring to intentionally submerging your body in Cold Water (generally below 15'c). The benefits are hard to compartmentalise as they are all linked - the overlap from Physiological and Psychological is real, I have outlined some below. For more info see https://breatheolution.co.uk/coldwater
Physiological
*Immune System; Exposing yourself to acute stress is an amazing way to give your body the chance to adapt and become stronger. Cold Water helps boost white blood cell count as you are forced to react to the conditions.
​
* Circulation; Veins, Arteries and Capillaries all induce blood flow, the cold forces your blood to the surface as your body fights to keep your extremities warm.
​
* Inflammation; 15’c temperature & below have shown to trigger changes in parameters like blood flow affecting inflammation and speeding up muscles function
​
* Weight Loss; Some studies have shown that it can speed up your metabolism which is the rate your body uses energy and burns calories.
Psychological
​
* Stress; When you learn to develop a relationship with and a response to acute stress, your body naturally deals with day to day stress much better. Your breath also plays a significant role in this; when you breath into discomfort your body relaxes and overcomes.
​
* Mental Over-ride; I often find myself battling with that inner voice that questions whether I want to go in the cold, but I never regret going in. The mental fortitude that I gain from the process is unquestionable.
​
* Comfort Zone; This for me has been the biggest benefit. Our environment in the modern day has allowed us to become extremely comfortable. This was not the case for most of our existence as a species and has come at a cost. We would regularly feel changing of temperatures and be in flow with the seasons, now it is all to easy to live our lives without feeling the cold.
please note, these are my own understandings and not a supplement for medical advice.

Why do I believe in this Challenge so much?
"Developing a relationship with the Cold has transformed my life and developed rich community."
For the last 5 years I have been able to sustain this practice of intentionally seeking the Cold. It has improved my health, from developing mental resilience that helps me deal with everyday stress to allowing me to trust my body & mind and realise it is capable of so much more.
​
The practice has translated into everything I do, changed the way I travel and created some incredible memories whilst meeting some people that have truly enriched my life.
The benefits are endless, it is a practice that keeps on giving, these are my top picks for my WHY...
​
-
a practice you never good at - you will always rely on the cold to be cold, everyday is another opportunity to let go of expectations and be in the present.
-
it teaches you how to surrender - letting go in life is an action, it requires strength and discipline.
-
learning how to breath - the gateway to your nervous system, the cold teaches to control your breath.
