Main Benefits of a Cold Plunge Pool Immersion
When practised deliberately, ice plunge pool immersion has a variety of wellness advantages. Here are the some of health benefits of ice bath:
- Mental Clarity & Resilience: When we feel stress, there’s an influx of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine in our brain and body, identical to the effects of deliberate cold exposure. It presents an opportunity to deliberately stress our body and learn to maintain mental clarity and stay calm, improving our mental resilience and acuity.
- Metabolism & Weight Loss: When you immerse into an ice plunge pool, the cold converts white fat cells into metabolically active beige and brown fat cells. It boosts metabolism and calorie burn.
- Anti-Inflammatory & Muscle Recovery: Deliberate cold exposure serves as a powerful anti-inflammatory tool post-exercise, with optimal results manifesting hours or even days after training.
- Wakefulness & Alertness: Plunge pool effect includes elevating core body temperature, and as a result, enhancing wakefulness and alertness.
Experience Contrast Therapy With Parenie Ritual
Our experience features a unique Parenie thermal treatment – an age-old ritual that is performed in the steam room that uses leafy and fragrant bundles of birch, oak and eucalyptus twigs. Parenie is followed by the guided immersion in the cold plunge pool – this sequence intensifies the invigorating benefits of contrast therapy, filling the body and mind with energy and leaving you feeling ready to take on the world!
